Most functions aren't recursive, and of those that are, they usually
have a very small, specialized task, so that it rarely needs to be
renamed. I doubt even 1% of future code would use your proposed
operator/keyword. But if you find this feature useful for your
situation, you could just turn that into a function and store it as
debug.thisfunction, which would allow all your code to access it.
