Simpler way to read a file relative to current module?

So I wrote a little helper function for reading the text content of a file relative to the current module. I came up with the following, but is there any simpler way that I'm missing? It seems a bit wordy 😄

import * as path from "std//path/mod.ts";

const gql = (filename: string) =>
  Deno.readTextFileSync(
    path.resolve(
      path.dirname(path.fromFileUrl(import.meta.url)),
      filename,
    ),
  );

import * as path from "std//path/mod.ts";

const gql = (filename: string) =>
  Deno.readTextFileSync(
    path.resolve(
      path.dirname(path.fromFileUrl(import.meta.url)),
      filename,
    ),
  );

even simpler: import.meta.resolve(filename)

That's a good one, but I think it will only resolve modules, not any file

It resolves any URL and take into account the import_map.
