+;; The following function was compiled from the former functions
+;; `describe-simplify-lib-file-name' and `find-source-lisp-file' with
+;; some excerpts from `describe-function-1' and `describe-variable'.
+;; The only additional twists provided are (1) locate the defining file
+;; for autoloaded functions, and (2) give preference to files in the
+;; "install directory" (directories found via `load-path') rather than
+;; to files in the "compile directory" (directories found by searching
+;; the loaddefs.el file). We autoload it because it's also used by
+;; `describe-face' (instead of `describe-simplify-lib-file-name').
