[Jprogramming] Can a verb (adverb or conjunction) know and echo its own name?

['robert therriault' via Programming]

Another option which does not require debug to be on is to embed the verb in a try. catch. end. control block

 tracer=: 4 : 0
try. x + y
 catch. 2 3 $ 'x arg';'Error Type';'y arg'; x;(, 13!:12 '');y end.
)

    4 tracer 5
9
   4 tracer 'a'
┌─────┬──────────────────────────────────┬─────┐
│x arg│Error Type                        │y arg│
├─────┼──────────────────────────────────┼─────┤
│4    │|domain error: tracer |   x    +y │a    │
└─────┴──────────────────────────────────┴─────┘
   'd' tracer 3
┌─────┬──────────────────────────────────┬─────┐
│x arg│Error Type                        │y arg│
