Constants of the type __SOMETHING__ are historical constants for
retrieving contextual information about the source code in which the
constant is found. For instance __FILE__ indicates the name of the
source file in which the __FILE__ constant is found. This nomenclature
dates back to at least C and is probably kept for historical reasons
since everyone knows C is da bomb!
Not that C is not 'da bomb' or any less hip, but here is the short
