*blink*

I plead obscenely low caffeine blood levels.

And I'm still not taking that patch - IMO that kind of stuff is absolutely
pointless from anyone other than active maintainers of some code;
the rationale for using __func__ is based upon the possibility of
function getting renamed, and that's not going to happen on inactive
codebase.

IOW, *if* somebody is starting a serious work in that area - sure, might
as well throw that kind of change in, as part of the series.  Other than
that, though...  No.
