People keep mentioning refactoring. It's a red herring. No refactoring tool needs a nameof operator added to the language in order to do its job. And certainly an operator that requires running the program in order to use it is not going to be helpful. Refactoring tools analyze the program; they don't run it.
And f-strings are another red herring. There is nothing magical about expressions inside f-strings compared to those outside. Ignoring the red herrings, I see no utility in a nameof operator and no way for it to actually do anything useful. --- Bruce
