Looks good to me.

Are we using RUSTC_FILE_AS_C_STR for this? I know it's used elsewhere,
and it makes sense to replace RUSTC_HAS_SPAN_FILE with something that's
used _somewhere_, but I do see a hardcoded c_str!(file!()) below. I'm
assuming that RUSTC_FILE_AS_C_STR isn't something useful there.

(This is just out of my own curiosity, rather than an actual suggestion.)
