Given a value of type FUNCTION! it is possible to acquire its
argument list and body.

However...
A function doesn't have a name. A function is a value, and
zero, one, or more words can refer to that value, but "name"
is not an attribute of a function in REBOL.
For the sake of analogy, it's like having a reference to a
string value and asking for its "name".
