Thanks for testing.  As far as I can infer, there is no point in testing
for anything other than __func__ since all platforms that support other
symbols also support __func__?

If we find a platform which doesn't have __func__, but have __FUNCTION__
or something else, we can map the latter to the former.  Then we'll know
which platforms are really affected, and can document it better.
