/*
console.log('__line: ' + __line);
console.log('__file: ' + __file); 
console.log('__ext: ' + __ext); 
console.log('__base: ' + __base);
console.log('__filename: ' + __filename);
console.log('__dirname: ' + __dirname);
console.log('__function: ' + __function);

This is absolutely useful information for people who use node.js. Node.js has similar stuff like #Perl.
