You can do a function called for example 'log-this-function'. You send the function you wish to log to that function, it then does a `advice-add' :before (or :after?) the function that's supposed to be logged and the advice function can then have the function's name with `symbol-name' since that's available in 'log-this-function' ... -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
