+# A subroutine for extracting a function name from a code object

+# Extract the function or class name from a code object.
+# This is a bit of a hack, since a code object doesn't contain
+# the name directly. So what do we do:
+# - get the filename (which *is* in the code object)
+# - look in the code string to find the first SET_LINENO instruction
+# (this must be the first instruction)
+# - get the line from the file
+# - if the line starts with 'class' or 'def' (after possible whitespace),
+# extract the following identifier
+#
+# This breaks apart when the function was read from <stdin>
+# or constructed by exec(), when the file is not accessible,
+# and also when the file has been modified or when a line is
+# continued with a backslash before the function or class name.
+#
+# Because this is a pretty expensive hack, a cache is kept.
