Yes, I think it uses `find-lisp-object-file-name' which might look first
in the directory of the .elc, and search the load-path otherwise.

Looking for a function's source in the same directory as that function's
loaded .elc is probably a good thing, hitting its actual source even if
load-path changes wildly later.
