symbol-file

  (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.
