One other note - we were not talking about function names themselves, but pointers to functions. Such as:
<cfset newfunction = oldfunction>

Interestingly, Per Djurner and I were talking about that very issue just yesterday. His solution, which I thought was awesomely creative, was to throw an error, find the line number of your <cfset>, read the file, and find the variable name. Well, something basically like that, except we were talking about function names. However, it would still work with variables, since the concept is the same.

Now, we both realize we'd like to see a better solution, but it works for the time being (unless of course, you are trying to distinguish between more than 1 on the same line).

Hi

Quick question. If you store an object in a variable like this:

<cfset myObject = createObject("component","testObject").init()>

Is it possible to interrogate some method or metadata associated with
testObject in order to find out what variable name it has been stored within
(myObject in this case)?

Thanks for your help,
Ed
