I'm curious why there would ever be such a need? I can't think
of a situation when simply hard coding the name woulfd not be
possible, after all you are writing the,method when you do it.

I guess the only case might be using a callable object for
dynamic object creation.

Lets try....

class C:
   pass

c = C()
c.f = lambda self: "My name is .....

But no even here we know that the name will be f.

I give in, under what circumstance would you not know the
current method's name?
