Sure (there is always a way in Emacs...), but I don't think it's a good
idea to use such a hack just for a more cosmetic purpose.

IIRC the currently compiled file can be referred to with the variable
`byte-compile-current-file', even from the file itself.  I don't recall
the downsides of loading the file while compiling (apart from making
compiling slow and loading the package unnecessarily when compiling).
