I'd be OK with that, yes.

This call to `message' is erroneous (e.g. if the file name contains % chars).
You can fix it with
(defun show-elisp-src-at-point ()
(interactive)
(message "%s" (find-lisp-object-file-name (variable-at-point) 'defvar)))
At which point the `C-source' return value is not nearly as problematic.

Agreed, tho the caller could let-bind help-enable-auto-load (in effect
passing it an implicit additional argument).
