What's wrong with __FILE__.dirName ?

It's kinda weird, sometimes I've noticed that the __FILE__ keyword is an absolute path, and sometimes it isn't. If it was always an absolute path, that would work. I decided to take a stab at implementing this in the dmd compiler:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/5959

It adds a __FILE_FULL_PATH__ trait which would solve the issue.

Personally I've never seen a relative __FILE__. Is this an issue that's confirmed ?

I mean that it would be better to fix __FILE__ so that its result is always absolute then. I think that such a "PPR" (punk-pull-request) has 0% chance of being accepted, especially since it adds a special keyword !
