I think he gets it, mind you.  His usage pattern is just different.
His request makes sense.  But as long as his code is written properly
(expand-file-name <foo> (file-name-directory (or load-file-name
buffer-file-name))) should give the right result both during load and
during eval-buffer.  We could also change #$ to return (or load-file-name
buffer-file-name) rather than load-file-name so that
(expand-file-name <foo> (file-name-directory #$)) does the trick even
more reliably.
