Path to current file in Dart

How can I get the path to the current file? (similar to the __FILE__ constant in PHP or macro in C) For example:

a.dart:

import './b.dart';

void main() => print(path());

b.dart:

import 'dart:io';

String path() => Platform.script.toFilePath();

The above code prints the path to the invoking script, a.dart. How can I change b.dart to get the path to b.dart instead, such that wherever I call path() from within the project, I'll always get the correct path to b.dart?

This may not work in all cases (I means the platforms and executable formats), but it is as easy as shelling pears:

import 'package:stack_trace/stack_trace.dart';

void main(List<String> args) {
  final frame = _frame(); // <==== /E:/prj/dart_test/bin/main.dart at line 4
  print('file: ${frame.uri.path}');
  print('lime: ${frame.line}');
}

Frame _frame() {
  return Frame.caller(1);
}

Result:

file: /E:/prj/dart_test/bin/main.dart
lime: 4
