"How is:

It would be in generics (if p'identity is defined for the
instantiation, and not the generic itself).

	with text_io; use text_io;
	generic
	procedure wow is
	begin
		put_line("my name is " & p'identity);
	end;

	procedure fred is new wow;
	...
	fred; -- outputs 'my name is fred'

I've got no idea how hard this would be, or even of its worth.
I presume you would have to include a hidden parameter to the 
generic.
