Does that solve the issue?
can it stand in for the caller location?

No - how would you get the caller symbol? It's completely useless for this purpose.

Personally I use Fence _ = Fence(), string file = __FILE__, size_t line = __LINE__, but that's obviously awkward in that it's not composable.

Other things that don't work: void foo(Loc loc = Loc(__FILE__, __LINE__)), because __FILE__ and __LINE__ are substituted by explicitly checking whether the default value *is that symbol*. They cannot be composed. That's why we do need something like __LOCATION__.

PS: You should ignore anyone on the topic unless they're linking a run.dlang.io with working code.

Sigh. I expected as much.
Let's get a proper built-in location struct please.
