smalltalk reflection - how to get method name?

Assume I have a class and an instance method:

 ClassExample#methodExample
      ^"???"

Is there any way in Smalltalk to get the name of the method:

 var := ClassExample new.
 nameOfMyMethod := var methodExample.
 "nameOfMyMethod should be 'methodExample' (a string or symbol)"

?

I'm developing in VisualAge. Thanks for help!
