Not exactly automatically since you need to explicitly request that they
are included, but yes, they are redundant.

__func__ may sometimes be useful for compact debug messages, though. As
an example, "get_chars - 5" is self-contained, while simply printing "5"
doesn't make any sense unless you also enable function prefixes.
