Either we treat it as some "internal auxiliary" function used to build Emacs, in which case it should have a more discreet name, maybe starting with "internal-" or some such thingy that makes it clear noone else will want to use it. Or we treat it as a "full blown citizen", but then we should more clearly explain what it is supposed to do, since "Produce the real file name for FILE" isn't sufficiently descriptive to decide when it's buggy and when it's not.
