Seems reasonable if __FILE__ and __LINE__ can't do the job.

But, will it lead to wanting a general #location method to use in
place of __FILE__ and __LINE__? If so, a more specialized name, eg.
#source_location, would be better.

Also, should the method be defined for Binding too?

T.


P.S. A bit aside, but could we also have a method for

  binding.eval{ self }

too (eg. Binding#context)?
