Re: locate-with-filter

[Richard Stallman]

    The problem with `locate' in the docstring of `locate' is that it
    creates a confusing self-referential link.

It is not self-referential.  It is in the documentation of an Emacs command
and it refers to a program.

      The problem with `locate'
    to refer to the executable program of that name is that it creates a
    link to the _Emacs_ command locate, creating even more confusion.

We should suppress the link in that case.  Does this patch do it?
