Can I get a value's name

Context for this question arises from some recent code. In particular the "replace_line" method, which takes in a regexp to look for, and a replacement for when it matches. It is supposed to work for single lines only (we add ^ and $ to the regexp), so arguments which have '\n' in them are not
