Did you just need the name of the function? something like this?
---------------->8----8<----------------
(def ^{:dynamic true} *myself* nil)
(defmacro defn* [name args & body]
`(defn ~name ~args
(binding [*myself* '~name]
~@body)))
(defn* foo [a b] [*myself* (+ a b)])
---------------->8----8<----------------
This is, of course, quite ugly and grossly oversimplified, but would work for a
limited use case.
Cheers,
