The magic is the `find-function-C-source-directory` variable (and the
code that uses it) which "manually" tells where to redirect.  We could
add similar redirections for ELisp source code (even go crazy and add
such redirections for non-builtin packages, in case you have a source
dir corresponding to a package installed via `package-install` or
somesuch).
