I did try bringing this up with GCC developers at one point but the overwhelming consensus was that there wasn't a need for such an extension as 'it's possible to just `#define FILENAME "foo.c"`', with regards to WG14, I was told it was best to get it adopted by other compiler vendors first (ie. GCC). Been pretty sick recently so haven't had time to chase up a lot of loose ends up, should probably get back to that, but it seems WG21 may be the best bet at this point. I'll try to get back on top of everything soon, sorry. Have a pretty big backlog of other things that have also accumulated too.
