At this place, We can find a real file with suffixed filename (`fn')

that needs to be handled in a special way (e.g. a compressed 

one: "/a.elc.gz") while `filename' holds the requested 

filename without the suffix ("/a").

In this case, the file shouldn't be opened and the function (openp())

should not return the fd. It should return -2, and the calling 

function (load()) should call the corresponding handler in order

to load it.

It used to check whether there is a special handler by passing `filename'.

Such a test used not to give the expected result, since the handler

is applicable to the real (suffixed) found filename `fn'.

Loading libraries stored as compressed .elc-files used to be broken 

because of this: the corresponding load-handler (`jka-compr-load') 

used not be called, and the docstrings for the loaded functions

got corrupted when displayed.
