The description in the Elisp manual is fine. The doc string is
generally OK, except for its second sentence. This part of the second
sentence is not clear (meaningless, misleading): ", with its suffixes".
It's unclear what that might mean (return the absolute file name, plus a
list of its suffixes?). But it certainly cannot mean what really
happens: the absolute file name is returned, including ONE of the
suffixes if appropriate.
Just say what the manual says: the absolute file name is returned:
If it finds such a file, it returns the file's absolute file name;
otherwise it returns `nil'.
