    Return the "name" of an argument passed to a function.  This could be a

    Description of arguments:
    var                             The variable whose name you want returned.
    arg_num                         The arg number whose name is to be
                                    returned.  To illustrate how arg_num is
                                    processed, suppose that a programmer codes
                                    this line: "rc, outbuf = my_func(var1,
                                    var2)" and suppose that my_func has this
                                    line of code: "result = gp.get_arg_name(0,
                                    arg_num, 2)".  If arg_num is positive, the
                                    indicated argument is returned.  For
                                    example, if arg_num is 1, "var1" would be
                                    returned, If arg_num is 2, "var2" would be
                                    returned.  If arg_num exceeds the number
                                    of arguments, get_arg_name will simply
                                    return a complete list of the arguments.
                                    If arg_num is 0, get_arg_name will return
                                    the name of the target function as
                                    specified in the calling line ("my_func"
                                    in this case).  To clarify, if the caller
                                    of the target function uses an alias
                                    function name, the alias name would be
                                    returned.  If arg_num is negative, an
                                    lvalue variable name is returned.
                                    Continuing with the given example, if
                                    arg_num is -2 the 2nd parm to the left of
                                    the "=" ("rc" in this case) should be
                                    returned.  If arg_num is -1, the 1st parm
                                    to the left of the "=" ("out_buf" in this
                                    case) should be returned.  If arg_num is
                                    less than -2, an entire dictionary is
                                    returned.  The keys to the dictionary for
                                    this example would be -2 and -1.
    stack_frame_ix                  The stack frame index of the target
                                    function.  This value must be 1 or
                                    greater.  1 would indicate get_arg_name's
                                    stack frame.  2 would be the caller of
                                    get_arg_name's stack frame, etc.

    Example 1:

    my_var = "mike"
    var_name = get_arg_name(my_var)

    In this example, var_name will receive the value "my_var".

    Example 2:

    def test1(var):
        # Getting the var name of the first arg to this function, test1.
        # Note, in this case, it doesn't matter what you pass as the first arg
        # to get_arg_name since it is the caller's variable name that matters.
        dummy = 1
        arg_num = 1
        stack_frame = 2
        var_name = get_arg_name(dummy, arg_num, stack_frame)

    # Mainline...

    another_var = "whatever"
    test1(another_var)

    In this example, var_name will be set to "another_var".

    Will result in the following type of output:

    loc_col1_indent                 The number of spaces to indent the output.

                                    the variable name.  The default value of
                                    this is adjusted so that the var_value
                                    lines up with text printed via the
                                    print_time function.
    trailing_char                   The character to be used at the end of the
                                    returned string.  The default value is a
                                    line feed.
    key_list                        A list of which dictionary keys should be
                                    printed.  All others keys will be skipped.
                                    Each value in key_list will be regarded
                                    as a regular expression and it will be
                                    regarded as anchored to the beginning and
                                    ends of the dictionary key being
                                    referenced.  For example if key_list is
                                    ["one", "two"], the resulting regex used
                                    will be "^one|two$", i.e. only keys "one"
                                    and "two" from the var_value dictionary
                                    will be printed.  As another example, if
                                    the caller were to specify a key_list of
                                    ["one.*"], then only dictionary keys whose
                                    names begin with "one" will be printed.
