It is obvious why this is desirable, but what is less obvious is the difficulty
in providing this.  At the time the function object is created, it is
anonymous.  Assigning it to a variable or to property on another object does
not change this fact.  Consider the following example:
SomeObject.someMethod = function(a, b) { };
SomeOtherObject.someOtherMethod = SomeObject.someMethod;
SomeOtherObject.someOtherMethod(1, 2);

What name should Drosera give to the frame created by the function call in the
third line?  Coming up with a solution to this single case appears relatively
easy, but is tricky to generalise in a fashion that won't produce more
confusing results in some cases.
