The only way to get the "name" of a dictionary (it may have
more than one, or different names in different contexts) is
to scan all dictionaries on the dict stack and do an associative
search for the name.  Here is a procedure that I wrote to do
this some time ago.  It uses the "dstack" variable from $error,
but can easily be modified to get the dict stack currently
in effect.  As an efficiency hack, userdict and systemdict
are checked for as special cases.  The outer two ifelse's
serve no other purpose.
