Please say what file this came from.
Why can't this ever be fixed for files in $HOME?

  (describe-function (quote jidanni-w3m-wordpress-comment-who-filler))

  jidanni-w3m-wordpress-comment-who-filler is an interactive compiled
  Lisp function.

  (jidanni-w3m-wordpress-comment-who-filler)

  Fill in WordPress etc. comment form headers with my personal
  information. Run this when the next entry field on the page is the
  first we want to fill in. Only needed on sites that don't already have
  your cookies...

There are a pair of files,
/home/jidanni/.emacs-w3m.elc
/home/jidanni/.emacs-w3m
And why can't there be a link to click to see source, just like like for
other .el, .el.gz, .elc files.

There should definitely be a link there.  It works fine for the
functions I define in my .emacs.  So you'll have to give us more detail
for us to figure what goes wrong in your case.

Try his specific example, which refers to ~/.emacs-w3m.elc.

 I already retitled the report:

find-lisp-object-file-name fails to find "file" from "file.elc"

It special cases ~/.emacs, but fails to handle anything else of this
form.

Well all my .els are in
http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/
and as you see in
http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs
I byte compile them (but don't put the .elc on the net.)
Maybe the problem is that
http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs-w3m doesn't end in a .el?
