Get calling function name in Clojure

I need to get calling function name in Clojure. Something like combination of macro's implicit variable &form and *file* var. I need to get or infer function name from those variable or something else if possible. Will have to be non platform specific.

This function already exists in the Tupelo library. There are two functions that are thin wrappers over tupelo.misc/stacktrace-info

They return a map of info about the current function (or its parent), like:

       {:ns-name     'demo.core'
        :fn-name     'add2'
        :class-name  'demo.core$add2'
        :file-name   'core.clj'
        :line-num    57
        :method-name 'invokeStatic' }

I think you will have to use the platform-specific

(-> (Throwable.) .getStackTrace) in java

and

(-> (js/Error.) .-stack) in js and work it out from those sadly.

I don't think there's anything platform agnostic.
