OK, at the risk of sounding very stupid.. this feature was removed and then
added again in this commit:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-26&id=da976cff352bdea6adc2667582a56eb4061bb5f6

Right?

The defconst dir-locals-file-2 is added in that commit, but is not used
anywhere.

Looking at the dir-locals--all-files code in that commit, from what I
understand, the let-bound file-2 derivation is hard-coded, and has nothing
to do with dir-locals-file-2:

           (file-2 (when (string-match "\\.el\\'" file-1)
                     (replace-match "-2.el" t nil file-1)))

Is that correct? So should the dir-locals-file-2 defconst and all its
mentions be removed from doc? Or should that var instead be used in
dir-locals--all-files and wherever else applicable?
