__FUNCTION__ will exist (exists) in PHP 4.3.0. This feature
request can be seen here:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=8576
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=11393
http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/NEWS
__CLASS__ will also come into being, to go along with their
older siblings __LINE__ and __FILE__.
These are special PHP core reserved/predefined constants.

p.s. Controversy surrounds these magic constants,
are they *really* constants? Inquiring minds
want to know. :)
