I would argue that __FILE__ and __LINE__ are not referring to conceptual entities, but the literal code. And, I guess, they are mostly used for debugging purposes to identify the relevant code. Thus, I would not change them, but keep them as compile-time constants referring to the actual place where they occur. Adapting them to reflect the using classes would at least not seem to be the intuitive semantics, I think.
