OK, somehow I was afraid it is like that.

Without much hope for a more positive answer: how about the other end of 
the process? When the function is actually executed it has been called 
by \myFunc. Isn't this information available somewhere, on a call stack 
or so? Could this be used to generate a message from the function that 
includes its name?
