Trying to understand this bit from the Resolve Pointer docs:

   -
   The RESOLVE POINTER command does not work with pointers to local
   variables. In fact, by definition several local variables with the same
   name could exist in different locations, so it is not possible for the
   command to find the correct variable.

http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.5/RESOLVE-POINTER.301-3576828.en.html

I hadn't noticed that and just got bit by it. But it doesn't make sense to
me. Maybe when they say they can't find the correct variable they mean they
can't find any local variable.

All Resolve Pointer does for a variable is return the name, so I don't
really care which instance of the local they find, I'm only after the name.

In v15, is there a way to get the name of a passed pointer if it references
a local variable?
