[erlang-questions] Why no ?FUNCTION macro

[Adam Lindberg]

Mats and Garry,

Actually that was exactly what I was looking for, I only had it in mind like
this (felt kind off natural):

error_logger:error_report([{module, ?MODULE}, {function, ?FUNCTION}, {error,
Error}]).

However, what you propose works well enough for my purposes!

Thanks,
Adam
