The point was that solving "how to get the name" is only part of the 
bigger problem "how to get more context". So, putting things into 
perspective is important in order to avoid overfitting to a single use-case.

Maybe, my intention wasn't clear but it seems that I am not the only one 
seeing issues with a particular solution.

NOTE: sys._getframe(1) is not really a to-go solution. It tastes more 
like an internal API which normal devs shouldn't touch except for 
debugging purposes. Maybe, I am wrong here, but the _underscore supports 
that view.
