       If you pass an object name (returned by the _f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e_(_)
       efun) or an object itself, this function will return the
       name of the original file from which the object was loaded
       or cloned.  For master copies, the _b_a_s_e___n_a_m_e_(_) will equal
       the _f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e_(_).  For clones, the _f_i_l_e___n_a_m_e_(_) will be the
       _b_a_s_e___n_a_m_e_(_) plus an extension.
