How about a predefined #FILE, #PATH and #FUNCTION for C?

This facility was added to the C preprocessor by John Reiser at Bell Labs;
it first appeared outside the Labs in V7.  It is, therefore, in V7 and all
post-V7 UNIX systems except those where the supplier decided to "improve" it
by supplying a C compiler which doesn't support it - let's hope there aren't
any such systems.  It's even documented in the System V "cpp" manual page,
along with the "defined()" operator.  I believe that both __FILE__ and
__LINE__, as well as "defined()", are in the ANSI C draft standard.
