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 !
