I use %~n0 and %~dp0 all the time from batch files and find this very useful.

Especially if you are calling a common logging utility or event log an need to log the name of the script.

Bit surprised this is not standard in version 1?

OK. So what happens if you call a function inside that second script, and you inside that function want to find the directory the script is running from?

This is all way to complicated. Give us a property containing the directory the current script is running from!
