The docs of load-file-name don't say what this variable becomes when outside of load. It is always nil when load-in-progress is nil?

I'd like this code to work when the form is evaluated with C-M-x in an Emacs buffer. Since this isn't in an eval-when-compile form, though, I guess it would work to remove the byte-compile-current-file part.

Thanks!
