=head1 NAME

Raku port of Perl's __FILE__ and associated functionality

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use P5__FILE__;  # exports __FILE__, __LINE__, __PACKAGE__, __SUB__

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module tries to mimic the behaviour of Perl's C<__FILE__>, C<__LINE__>,
C<__PACKAGE__> and C<__SUB__> functionality as closely as possible in Raku.

=head1 TERMS

=head2 __PACKAGE__

A special token that returns the name of the package in which it occurs.

=head3 Raku

    $?PACKAGE.^name

Because C<$?PACKAGE> gives you the actual C<Package> object (which can be
used for introspection), you need to call the C<.^name> method to get a
string with the name of the package.

=head2 __FILE__

A special token that returns the name of the file in which it occurs.

=head3 Raku

    $?FILE

=head2 __LINE__

A special token that compiles to the current line number.

=head3 Raku

    $?LINE

=head2 __SUB__

A special token that returns a reference to the current subroutine, or
"undef" outside of a subroutine.

=head3 Raku

    &?ROUTINE

Because C<&?ROUTINE> gives you the actual C<Routine> object (which can be
used for introspection), you need to call the C<.name> method to get a
string with the name of the subroutine.
