src_file_get

Whenever a script is sourced into an R session using source(), the path of
the file gets attached to the environment with the name ofile, which can be
used to get the file path from within the script. If multiple files are
being sourced before, then these would all be present in a different
environment. Getting the ofile entry that comes last will give us the
sourced file.

Provides functions to retrieve the location of R scripts loaded through the source() function or run from the command line using the Rscript command. This functionality is analogous to the Bash shell's ${BASH_SOURCE[0]}. Users can first set the project root's path relative to the script path and then all subsequent paths relative to the root. This system ensures that all paths lead to the same location regardless of where any script is executed/loaded from without resorting to the use of setwd() at the top of the scripts.
