But if you care about that, you don't need `find-function-source-path'
at all, no? (And actually, I don't see a reliable way to jump to the
"right" source of a byte-compiled function in general (as I already
pointed out in the previous mail).)

Also, you replied to none of my other questions, notably -- do you
really (_really_) plan to reimplement `load-history', or was that just a
"would be nice to have"? If the latter, could you propose a better
solution that would improve the current situation? (I'm sorry, but as I
also already wrote, I didn't really understand the point(s) you were
making.)
