If I’m following all this correctly, it seems your criticism is that R doesn’t
provide a run-time function that is equivalent to a compile-time macro. You do

If you are always running your main script as 'Rscript myscript.R'
then your file argument will appear as '--file=myscript.R' in

I am curious about why it is desirable for a script to know where in the file

so, the best route it to convert the scripts into functions

Hi Oliver,
Interesting question. Can you describe your motivation in a little
more detail? That is, why do you what this feature? I ask because to
my way of thinking you have to know the path to the script in order to
call it in the first place. If calling from R, is
