testharness.js also does that, I think -- it loads a CSS file from the
same directory as itself.  IIRC, it does so by looking for the first
<script> whose src ends in "testharness.js".  It would be more
reliable if it could record the actual URL it's being loaded from.

(For this use-case it would be enough for the script to get its own
URL.  In fact, this might be slightly more reliable, because there's
nothing to stop an earlier part of the script from inadvertently
changing the <script> element's src.  That wouldn't satisfy the first
use-case Jonas mentioned, though.)
