To be fair, Anatoly *did* suggest an incremental change -- adding the
function caller_name().  And I think this raises a good point: It is
outright impossible now to access the qualified name of a calling
function.  Adding an 'co_qualname' attribute to code objects would
facilitate this.

Another point Anatoly raised is that the mere function names mentioned
in tracebacks often are less useful than fully qualified names.  So
how about including the qualified names in the traceback?
