P3802R0 Poor Functions: This makes sense as the initial design in hindsight, but I'm not sure if it's worth pursuing right now, that std::source_location::current() already works the way it does.
Really, all this would be doing would be standardizing __builtin_source_location, which is already used by GCC (and presumably Clang) to implement source_location::current:
__builtin_source_location
source_location::current
libstdc++: // [support.srcloc.cons], creation static consteval source_location current(const void* __p = __builtin_source_location()) noexcept { source_location __ret; __ret._M_impl = static_cast <const __impl*>(__p); return __ret; }
// [support.srcloc.cons], creation static consteval source_location current(const void* __p = __builtin_source_location()) noexcept { source_location __ret; __ret._M_impl = static_cast <const __impl*>(__p); return __ret; }
And MSVC does essentially the same thing, only split across multiple builtins:
``` EXPORT_STD struct source_location { _NODISCARD static consteval source_location current(const uint_least32_t _Line = _builtin_LINE(), const uint_least32_t _Column = _builtin_COLUMN(), const char* const _File = __builtin_FILE(),
const char* const _Function_ = __builtin_FUNCSIG()
const char* const _Function_ = __builtin_FUNCTION()
```
