This should be far easier to figure out than it is. If I've got a
signal as a parameter to a procedure, such as
procedure test_ext_irq(
signal irq_line : out boolean;
irq_mask : in t_wb_data)
Is there any way for me to get the name of the actual signal connected
to irq_line to use it in an assertion? irq_line'simple_name just gives
me irq_line, a thing I find tremendously unhelpful.

Rob, I don't believe there is any direct way to do this.
You can, of course, provide a string input parameter and feed
it the actual signal's 'SIMPLE_NAME. But that is somewhat
self-defeating.
This is one of those things that would be facilitated
by text-preprocessing macros....
Sorry!
