If both proposals make it into the same Swift release then we'd never actually have #function at all, but by doing it this way, if the #symbol proposal doesn't make it into the same release, or is rejected, then we'd end up with #function instead of leaving __FUNCTION__ around as the lone screaming snake case identifier.

+1.  At least one of the two should be accepted as part of this proposal.
