getMethodName()/getClassName()

/* Utility class: Getting the name of the current executing method
 * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/442747/getting-the-name-of-the-current-executing-method
 *
 * Provides:
 *
 *      getCurrentClassName()
 *      getCurrentMethodName()
 *      getCurrentFileName()
 *
 *      getInvokingClassName()
 *      getInvokingMethodName()
 *      getInvokingFileName()
 *
 * Nb. Using StackTrace's to get this info is expensive. There are more optimised ways to obtain
 * method names. See other stackoverflow posts eg. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/421280/in-java-how-do-i-find-the-caller-of-a-method-using-stacktrace-or-reflection/2924426#2924426
 *
 * 29/09/2012 (lem) - added methods to return (1) fully qualified names and (2) invoking class/method names
