Hi,

After `emacs -Q' execute 'M-x find-function RET 1value RET'
and then 'C-h f 1value RET';
I have done it via the following keystrokes (copied from
the output of `C-h l'):

M-x [execute-extended-command]
 f [self-insert-command]
 i [self-insert-command]
 n [self-insert-command]
 d [self-insert-command]
 - [self-insert-command]
 f [self-insert-command]
 u [self-insert-command]
 n [self-insert-command]
 <tab> [minibuffer-complete]
 <return> [minibuffer-complete-and-exit]
 1 [self-insert-command]
 v [self-insert-command]
 a [self-insert-command]
 l [self-insert-command]
 u [self-insert-command]
 e [self-insert-command]
 <return> [minibuffer-complete-and-exit]
 C-h f [describe-function]
 <up> [previous-line-or-history-element]
 <return> [minibuffer-complete-and-exit]
 
At this point Emacs displays two windows: in the top window there is
Lisp code defining macro `1value' and the modeline displays `subr.el.gz'
as buffer name.

The bottom window display the *Help* buffer with the first line being:

1value is a Lisp macro in ‘ses.el’.

Clcking with the mouse on `ses.el' changes the top window
to display another definition of `1value' with
modeline now showing `ses.el.gz' as buffer name.

So Emacs is inconsistent on where 1value is defined: it claims both 
subr.el and ses.el.  The case is similar for macro `noreturn'.


IMHO, ses.el should redefine neither 1value nor noreturn, to adhere to 
the following tip from the Elisp manual:

Thanks, fixed by removing the macros from ses.el.
