Yes, the brilliant thing about this is @FILE@ is the only item needed.

Naysayers would say "first you want @FILE@, next week you will want
@PWD@, next month you will want @CURRENT_DATE@..."

But that's not true. All the rest can be simply determined by the shell,
e.g., $PWD.

Naysayers will also say "For the filename just use $(ls -t|sed q). Case
closed." Yes but that is playing Russian roulette.
