digitalmars.D.learn - Get name of current function

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. http://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#specialkeywords -- Mike Wey

So something like __FUNCTION__ or __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ ? https://dlang.org/spec/traits.html#specialkeywords

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