Yep, typo.  But the 'mustsuffix trick is to force loading ".el" (and
not ".elc" files, right?  My question is: when is it necessary?

Er... I'm not Spinoza, considering things "sub specie aeternitatis".

I'm trying to consider real use-cases, with a sense of "real" close to
"not so improbable".  I don't see why Org should take care of users
who are pervert enough to gzip their org-loaddefs.el... but maybe I
lack imagination, as usual :)

emacs -Q
M-: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/git/org-mode/lisp")
M-: (find-library "org")
M-: (buffer-file-name)
 => "~/git/org-mode/lisp/org.el"

emacs -Q
M-: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/git/org-mode/lisp" t)
M-: (find-library "org")
M-: (buffer-file-name)
 => "/usr/local/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/org/org.el"

But I know your answer, `find-library' does not give the library from
which functions have been autoloaded.
