I introduced this when Xanalys changed the file names (I think when
they transitioned from 4 to 5) so the hard-coded mapping in
hyperspec.el didn't work anymore (or rather only for older
versions). With the help of the symbol table Emacs can figure out the
correct file names dynamically when hyperspec.el is loaded.

I don't know. Probably not. Try

  <http://www.lisp.org/HyperSpec/Data/Map_Sym.txt>

No. If it works now than leave it as it is. Actually, when it's not
set Emacs should start several microseconds faster... :)

Cheers,
