possible? if so, how do I do this?

void foo()

   baa();
}

void baa()
{
   wrilten(caller_name()); // foo
}

I know I could create an extra parameter and pass the current 
function name as argument but it isn't a possibility for now.

use debugger? or parse debugging info and do stackwalk.

Method 1 (extra template parameter):

////////////// method1.d /////////////
import std.stdio;

void foo()

void baa(string caller=__FUNCTION__)()
{
     writeln(caller);
}

Method 2 (slow, needs -g, also prints line number on Windows):

/////////////////////////// method2.d ///////////////////////////
import std.stdio;

void foo()
{
     baa();

void baa()
