Doesn't work, I don't think you can wrap such things ( __FILE__ 
and such ):

import std.stdio;

int main()
{
  printNormal();
  printWrapped();
  return 0;
}

void printNormal(int line = __LINE__)
{
  writefln("%s", line);
}

void printWrapped(int line = __MY_LINE__)
{
  writefln("%s", line);
}

// wrapped version
int __MY_LINE__(int line = __LINE__)
{
  return line;
}

$ rdmd demo.d
5
15  (should be 6!)

Thus, the suggested implementation of __DIR__ would behave very 
differently from a builtin one. I'm not saying we need a 
builtin one, however, it might not be a good idea to name it 
this way.

Huh, interesting case, didn't think of that one.
