109    // This is rather a shonky approach.  We take it here for the following reasons:
110    //
111    // It is important that the persistent test output filename is stable,
112    // even if the source code is edited.  For example, if we used the line number
113    // of the macro call, editing the source would change the output filenames.
114    // When the output filenames change willy-nilly, it is very easy to accidentally
115    // look at an out-of-date filename containing out-of-date test data,
116    // which can be very confusing.
117    //
118    // We could ask the user to supply a string, but we'd then need
119    // some kind of contraption for verifying its uniqueness, since
120    // non-unique test names would risk tests overwriting each others'
121    // files, making for flaky or malfunctioning tests.
122    //
123    // So the test function name is the best stable identifier we have,
124    // and the thread name is the only way we have of discovering it.
125    // Happily this works with `cargo nextest` too.
126    //
127    // For the same reasons, it wouldn't be a good idea to fall back
128    // from the stable name to some less stable but more reliably obtainable id.
129    //
130    // And, the code structure is deliberately arranged that we *always*
131    // try to determine the test name, even if TEST_TEMP_RETAIN isn't set.
132    // Otherwise a latent situation, where TEST_TEMP_RETAIN doesn't work, could develop.
