No, as it's name should be of utter unimportance.
(Somewhere in this group there's been given a 'solution' for this about a
year ago I think. It involved using debug_backtrace(), fopen()ing the file
and reading/parsing the line indicated in that array. Not anything you
should want to do.)
As said, the variable name should be of no importance. If you're trying to
pinpoint changes in your script you can either use __FILE__ & __LINE__
along with the output, of use the debug_backtrace() mentioned earlier in a
function to output the file & line it was called.
