Caveat: I'm not very familiar with this data structure, so feel free to
close this bug if I misunderstand.
In the Commentary of file compile.el -
My impression from reading the code and experimenting a bit is that the
description of FILE-STRUCTURE is incorrect. Specifically, it seems that
(FILENAME . DIRECTORY) in the comments should really be written as
(FILENAME DIRECTORY) - IOW, no dot.
The code accesses the DIRECTORY this way, for example:
(cadr (car (nth 2 loc))), where (car (nth 2 loc)) is FILE-STRUCTURE.
And the `message' text property shows values for FILE-STRUCTURE such as
("compile.el" nil), not ("compile.el"), aka ("compile.el" . nil).
