I like "current" because it is similar to other variables which are
dynamically bound by Org-mode and without it there is no indication that
it points to a block which is active *now*.

I've changed the variable name to your previous suggestion of
`org-babel-current-src-block-location'.  If anyone really wants brevity
they can add the following to their config.

    ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
    (defun loc () org-babel-current-src-block-location)
