I'd like to get the symbolic name of the current function I'm in

void foo()
{
    writeln(thisFunc.stringof()); // prints foo
}

I need something short, elegant and doesn't require modifying preexisting code... I'm sure D has something along those lines?

The __FUNCTION__ keyword would give you the fully qualified name of the function.

So something like __FUNCTION__ or __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ ?

__FUNCTION__ and __PRETTY_FUNCTION__

both will give qualified name though (e.g. module.foo), so, if necessary, that has to be stripped out manually.
