To add to the mix:

I routinely have this in my main stack script:

function main
   return the short name of me
end main

I learned it from Richard and it is more handy than you'd think. I use 
it all the time. If it's a substack name you want, then in most cases 
your handler can just get "the short name of this stack" (as long as the 
defaultstack is the one that's asking.)
