Since you lose nothing by including the file name (unless, as someone
pointed out, you could have just read one of a number of files, but that's a
pretty rare in my experience), I'd say have your standard be to use the
file-name qualifier.
Seems to me that that sentence identifies the qualities that would
bring it into a "standards" discussion.
1. The %eof/%found usually ("standard") refers to a particular I/O
operation on a particular file.
2. ...unless ("exception") you could have just read one of a number
of files.
IOW, have the "standard" reflect whatever alternative is 'standard'
rather than an 'exception'. If it refers to a particular file
/usually/, then make it the "standard" to include the file name.
You can get an additional benefit during maintenance and perhaps at
other times due to explicit references. While it might appear
cumbersome at first for some, almost any standard will become easy
to interpret after it's used a number of times.
