Message-ID: <48A43108.3050506@gmx.at> (raw)

   (symbol-file 'ediff-directories 'defun)

currently returns "ediff" which contradicts the doc-string saying

   The value is an absolute file name.
   It can also be nil, if the definition is not associated with any file.

I suggest we'd either fix the doc-string appropriately or return

   (locate-file (nth 1 (symbol-function symbol)) load-path '(".el" ".elc"))

in the autoload case.
