If you're going to bring me into it…I would prefer coalescing all these __FILE__, __LINE__, etc. things into one #sourceLocation structure. If you want one source-location-related thing, you tend to want the others, and you also want to be able to forward the source location info easily through the depths of your assertion/logging framework.
