I disagree about the 'close' part: in C, you wrap __FILE__ or __LINE__ in a macro, so you have the value of the call site, in D if you put them in a default argument or in a template you have the current value, not the call site which is nearly useless..

So let's not beat around the bush, this is an area where (AFAIK) C is superior to D..
