"self" keyword


How hard would it be to implement a "self" keyword extension which references the contextual function name wherein it was referenced?

int foo(int a)
{
    // recursion
    self(a + 1);
}

int food(int a)
{
    // recursion
    self(a + 1);
}

Obviously not a useful example, but demonstrates that to call each function it's in again that it can be done without knowing the function name.

Best regards,
