When Zack & I implemented the lazy __FUNCTION__ generation back in
April, I asked about making them all behave like __func__.  The
consensus then was a NO. We'd be breaking lots of important
code bases.

my suggestion: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-03/msg01506.html
zack's response: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-03/msg01556.html

1) If this is removed, then it must be done via deprecation in 3.1
and removal in 3.2
2) More heads need to consider the impact of such a change
