Sorry for the nitpicking.

file.

|       (TeX-source-correlate-mode 1)))

The above change seems to conflict with the following:

,----[ (info "(elisp)Coding Conventions") ]
|    * Likewise, avoid using `eval-after-load' (*note Hooks for

That aside, isn't it better to enable this minor mode by
(TeX-source-correlate-mode 1) in personal customisation?

Best,
