Is there a relevant discrepancy other than __file__ sometimes being absolute?

If code wants to be certain that __file__ is relative to the current directory, 
they need to run it through os.relpath() - there's no requirement for 
implementations one way or the other as to whether __file__ is absolute or 
relative

If we changed anything in CPython, it would be to make __main__.__file__ always 
absolute, even for scripts - we already changed plain imports to work that way.
