How do I get the name (filename) of an abstraction inside itself?

Actually, I want a [receive] inside the abstraction automatically set to the name of the abstraction, when it's loaded.

If I use [patcherargs] triggered by a loadbang inside a subpatcher I get its name, but with abstractions that doesn't work.

But for your specific problem, I'd use a #1 argument in the abstraction: so it becomes possible to instantiate abstractions with different [receive].

function bang() {
    outlet(0,this.patcher.name);
}
