I wish that symbol-file could handle _any_ kind of symbols. I just
tried two symbols (both of them are defined in C), but neither of them
works:
(symbol-file 'symbol-function)
⇒ nil
(symbol-file 'set)
⇒ nil
(Don't know whether it can handle uninterned symbols.)

You can find the "symbol file" of functions defined in C, as
demonstrated by C-h f symbol-function RET (which uses help-C-file-name),
but indeed symbol-file does not do it. Do you have a particular reason
why you'd need it?

I've now mentioned this in the doc string.
