Bug. It doesn't exist - but it should - so it returns nil ...
This is what happens when/if you manually have to give data
that are the same same, twice. Only input it once, then add 2
or as many references are called for to that data ...

Anyway the docstring also says:
See the file ‘thingatpt.el’ for documentation on how to
define a valid THING.
But that isn't even a clickable button.
It should be called `thing-at-point' BTW. That looks like
something out of C or Python.
