In order to facilitate better scripting capabilities, knowing the absolute location of the original D source file at runtime is very useful. Batch scripts have this capability with the %~dp0 and is a vital feature for many use cases.

Was implemented here: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/5959 Adds a new special compiler trait __FILE_FULL_PATH__ that reduces to the absolute path of the current source file.
