Monks, Is it possible to retrieve the attribute name that is currently being set in a builder method - similar to what caller() does? Maybe an example will better explain what is required: 
package This::That;
use Moose;

has 'FOO'  => (is => 'rw', lazy => 1, builder=> '_build_generic');
has 'BAR'  => (is => 'rw', lazy => 1, builder=> '_build_generic');

with qw(SQLConnection);

sub _build_generic {
  my $self = shift;
  #my $attribute_name = $self->meta->????  - is it possible to determi
+ne 'FOO' or 'BAR' is being set here ???
  #my $sth = $self->dbh->prepare('select $attribute_name from table wh
+ere x=? and y=?');
  #$sth->execute(1,2);
  return $sth->fetchrow_array;
}

The obvious alternative is to write separate builder methods for each attribute. However, this can lead to unnecessary repetition, where the only item that is changing is the attribute name.
