input_filename is always <stdin>

I would expect input_filename to work like it does in jq, with yq however it always outputs <stdin>.

Actual result:

$ yq 'input_filename' */problem.yaml
"<stdin>"
"<stdin>"
"<stdin>"
"<stdin>"
"<stdin>"
"<stdin>"

Expected result:

$ yq 'input_filename' */problem.yaml
"project_alpha/problem.yaml"
"project_zero/problem.yaml"
"questions/problem.yaml"
"research/problem.yaml"
"stuff/problem.yaml"
"test/problem.yaml"

@qistoph please feel free to do that. However, I don’t think it will solve this issue unless you also want to design a protocol for naming all documents in a stream and passing the names of those documents as a list to jq.

@vergenzt I am open to the design you describe in principle, as long as it’s not the default (since there are a lot more things that can potentially break with the fifo approach, I don’t want to make it the default for now).
