How to get delegate name inside delegated method?

How to get delegate name inside delegated method?

Here is my program for testing:

namespace Test
{
    class Program
    {
        public Action action;

        void real()
        {
            // I hoped it would output "action" here, but it was "real"
            Console.WriteLine(MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
        }

        public Program()
        {
            action = real;
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Program pr = new Program();
            pr.action();
        }
    }
}

So how can I get the name of delegate action instead of method read?

I've tried MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod(), but it didn't work.

Consider

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Program pr = new Program();
    Action tempName1 = pr.action;
    Action tempName2 = tempName1;

    //pr.action();
    tempName2();
}

Which name would you like to get? tempName1, tempName2, pr.action or just action?

From these choices it follows that you can't get an unambiguous variable name.
