bug#14697: 24.3.50; doc string of `find-file-visit-truename' |

A minor problem.
1. The statement: "Non-nil means visit a file under its truename"
is a bit misleading. A non-nil value does not mean that a file gets
visited (...) at all. It means only that IF a file gets visited then it
gets visited under its truename.
2. The doc is hard to understand unless one knows what visiting a file
"under its truename" means.
The doc does a good job of saying what the truename of a file is. What
is missing is to say what "visiting under" a given name means.
Presumably what is meant is that the truename is the name of the visited
file, i.e., it is used as the value of `buffer-file-name'. If so, say
that.
I would suggest something like this:
Non-nil means visiting a file uses its truename as the visited-file name.
That is, the buffer visiting the file has the truename as the value of
`buffer-file-name'.
