Apparently assigning the __file__ variable screws up "inspect" operations.

It all seems rather magical, perhaps there are also other evil side
effects on assigning __file__? I'm thinking that perhaps we should
leave __file__ unassigned after all.

Though what you are doing here doesn't seem too safe/predictable either :-).

I don't have much time for this right now, but why do you use
inspect.getmodule and inspect.getsource? Now that I'm looking at
inspect.stack() contents, it seems to have the file name and line
number directly available...
