A new function name property proposal

[Brendan Eich]

Updating this thread. I need to update the wiki still, but at last 
week's TC39 meeting we did agree to infer name mostly as you proposed. 
The one change of note is to make f.name writable always.

BTW, I just noticed that SpiderMonkey infers a "display id" now, along 
the lines of your proposal: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433529. No in-language 
reflection other than Error.stack, but there's a JS API.

If you could check out the SpiderMonkey patch that landed, I'd 
appreciate it.
