Clearly, I didn't read the OP clearly enough.

Unless you can get code to be generated in the calling scope (e.g. with
mixins), then the _only_ access that you have to anything in the calling scope
is with __FILE__ and __LINE__. And they only work that way because they're
treated as special cases (they _don't_ work that way in C/C++).

C/C++ may not need __FILE__ and __LINE__ to get evaluated at the call site because C/C++ have preprocessor macros to get around this problem.
