Personally I do find the location useful (file/function) *but*, to make logfiles a bit easier to digest on a VT100 [joking...], I mod the source so that the file path is relative rather than absolute - just makes the log lines a bit/lot shorter.
Don't know if that sort of compromise would be of value?
