I can't figure out what you are proposing, but as you have figured out
Firebug does not use Firefox's functionName, it's pretty worthless.
Instead Firebug has a totally hacky heuristic solution to look around
in the source for a name. While I welcome suggestions, I am reluctant
to hack on the hack, since we don't know what we are doing. We don't
have test cases for a heuristic solution for example.
The entire enterprise is somewhat confusing. I finally concluded that
function names don't actually make any sense in javascript anyway.
Functions are properties of objects, that is what is important. It's
much more important to know "what properties of what objects point to
this function?". For example,
function handleOnload(event) {..}
window.addEventListener('load', handleOnLoad, true);
What is important here? The string "handleOnload" helps us navigate
from the addEventListener line to the function, but it has no
significance. We could write:
function bizantyneFix13(event) {..}
window.addEventListener('load', bizantyneFix13, true);
just as well, and
window.addEventListener('load', function(event){...}, true);
On the other hand, if you can tell me what function is in
window.onload property, now we're talking.
Nevertheless I am interested in any incremental suggestions about
function names.
