Does anyone know of a way to determine the program name within a program
without explictly making a constant for it.  If there isn't a way then
maybe a new attribute should be made for the next version of Ada, namely:

P'Identity which returns a string, P is a program unit

I am using this information as part of an exception reporter system.

BTW these would be helpful too:

P'Location which returns a string, P is a program unit and the string would
contain the current line number in the source code, or maybe even the previous
line number (for exception processing).

Any thoughts?
