use __FILE__
to make it a little more portable

Technically, the *program* itself takes no input, because string imports
happen at compile-time, and the program's source is in fact embedded in
the executable, not read at runtime. So technically it's not cheating.
:-P

But of course, it's in the "spirit of cheating" because it actually
avoids the insight that comes with actually writing a quine without
using string imports.

And on that note, an actual cheating quine for D would be the blank .d
file: because compiling with dmd -main produces an executable that
writes no output (i.e., output of length zero, identical to the source
code).
