Thanks. I have understood clearly.

The effect is as same as description about `bookmark-buffer-file-name'
in bookmark.el on Emacs 22.3.1. In short, "shorter and portable".

comment about `bookmark-buffer-file-name' in bookmark.el on Emacs 22.3.1:
========================================================================
   (buffer-file-name
    ;; Abbreviate the path, both so it's shorter and so it's more
    ;; portable.  E.g., the user's home dir might be a different
    ;; path on different machines, but "~/" will still reach it.
    (abbreviate-file-name buffer-file-name))
