We don't have a notion of a "canonical" file name in Emacs, so I'm not
sure this helps.  OTOH, "absolute file name" is quite clear, and I
don't think people will be confused by the fact that ~/foo returns
non-nil from file-name-absolute-p.

  "When FILE-NAME is non-nil, jump to its line in Dired."

(Try to avoid saying the same thing twice too close to one another.)

Thanks.
