Doing C-h f RET rplaca RET gets me a Help buffer with the line

  rplaca is an alias for `setcar' in `.../subr.el'.

Clicking on

- the "setcar" link gets me to the Help buffer for `setcar',

- the ".../subr.el" link gets me to the location of the defalias.

I suppose we shouldn't change that behavior.
