Once more: the name in the debug message is totally irrelevant.
afaik debugging was not the initially mentioned purpose. Streaming to a

I would fire anyone RELYING on that.
Are you sure that you are objective in this diskussion?
As much as anyone else in this discussion ? :-)
Just NameOfVar(x) is indeed not very useful.
But there where hints what people would also want.
- The Name of a variable a pointer is pointing to (or that was given by
the callee for a param)
- looping through a list of variables
That would require a list of all variables and there names. So the
implementation cost of the feature would be a lot higher.
And as I already wrote, why re-invent the wheel? Use published
properties of an object, instead of variables. They have RTTI, so they
can already do all of this.
