    """Get the name of the variable(s) that assigned by function call or
    class instantiation.

    To debug and specify the right frame and ignore arguments, you can set
    debug on and see how the frames are ignored or selected:

    >>> from varname import config
    >>> config.debug = True

    Args:
        frame: `N`th frame used to retrieve the variable name. This means
            `N-1` intermediate frames will be skipped. Note that the frames
            match `ignore` will not be counted. See `ignore` for details.
        ignore: Frames to be ignored in order to reach the `N`th frame.
            These frames will not be counted to skip within that `N-1` frames.
            You can specify:
            - A module (or filename of a module). Any calls from it and its
                submodules will be ignored.
            - A function. If it looks like it might be a decorated function,
                a `MaybeDecoratedFunctionWarning` will be shown.
            - Tuple of a function and a number of additional frames that should
                be skipped just before reaching this function in the stack.
                This is typically used for functions that have been decorated
                with a 'classic' decorator that replaces the function with
                a wrapper. In that case each such decorator involved should
                be counted in the number that's the second element of the tuple.
            - Tuple of a module (or filename) and qualified name (qualname).
                You can use Unix shell-style wildcards to match the qualname.
                Otherwise the qualname must appear exactly once in the
                module/file.
            By default, all calls from `varname` package, python standard
            libraries and lambda functions are ignored.
        multi_vars: Whether allow multiple variables on left-hand side (LHS).
            If `True`, this function returns a tuple of the variable names,
            even there is only one variable on LHS.
            If `False`, and multiple variables on LHS, a
            `ImproperUseError` will be raised.
        raise_exc: Whether we should raise an exception if failed
            to retrieve the ast node.
            Note that set this to `False` will NOT supress the exception when
            the use of `varname` is improper (i.e. multiple variables on
            LHS with `multi_vars` is `False`). See `Raises/ImproperUseError`.
        strict: Whether to only return the variable name(s) if the result of
            the call is assigned to it/them directly. For example, `a = func()`
            rather than `a = [func()]`

    Returns:
        The variable name, or `None` when `raise_exc` is `False` and
            we failed to retrieve the ast node for the variable(s).
        A tuple or a hierarchy (tuple of tuples) of variable names
            when `multi_vars` is `True`.

    Raises:
        VarnameRetrievingError: When we are unable to retrieve the ast node
            for the variable(s) and `raise_exc` is set to `True`.

        ImproperUseError: When the use of `varname()` is improper, including:
            - When LHS is not an `ast.Name` or `ast.Attribute` node or not a
                list/tuple of them
            - When there are multiple variables on LHS but `multi_vars` is False
            - When `strict` is True, but the result is not assigned to
                variable(s) directly

            Note that `raise_exc=False` will NOT suppress this exception.

        MultiTargetAssignmentWarning: When there are multiple target
            in the assign node. (e.g: `a = b = func()`, in such a case,
            `a == 'b'`, may not be the case you want)

        to this function and no keyword arguments, meaning that getting full
        names of attribute calls are not supported in such cases.

                subscripts (ast.Subscript), and combinations of those and
                literals used as function, `pure_eval` will be used to evaluate

                will be used. A warning will be shown since unwanted side
                effects may happen in this case.
            You are very encouraged to always pass the function explicitly.
        dispatch: If a function is a single-dispatched function, you can
