That doesn't make sense since the `program' is one of several
files...  A `(current-load-file)' would make more sense, and be
similar to the `(current-load-relative-directory)', but that will also
be a little bogus if you happen to load more than a single file.

I think that the best approach to this is exactly the same as
`this-expression-source-directory'.  Something like this seems
reasonable:

  (define-syntax (this-expression-file-name stx)
    (syntax-case stx ()
      [(_)
       (let* ([f (syntax-source stx)]
              [f (and f (string? f) (file-exists? f)
                      (let-values ([(base file dir?) (split-path f)]) file))])
         (datum->syntax-object (quote-syntax here) f stx))]))

so it might be a good idea to add it to "etc.ss" --?  (Please tell me
if it makes sense and I'll add it.)

(The only problem now is that the syntax-source is "STDIN" for
interactive input, but seems like in v299 it changed to 'stdin
instead.)
