+**** ~emacs-lisp-mode~
+***** Prefer Emacs source directory over installation directory when finding definitions
+Entry points:
+- =M-.= on Elisp symbols: hook into ~elisp--xref-find-definitions~,
+ add a preference to consider source dir when
+ ~find-lisp-object-file-name~ returns something under the
+ installation dir?
+
+- ~help-view-source~ in Help buffers: likewise; in
+ ~help-function-def--button-function~ … or not, eventually reaches
+ down to ~find-library-name~; tunable with
+ =find-library-source-path=?
+
+=find-library-source-path= might be the answer for both situations.
**** ~python-mode~
***** DONE [[bug:51807]] Fix customization group of python-forward-sexp-function
