I don't know well about the C side. However, I think M-x describe-function
on a built-in function is really helpful. Because its *Help* buffer
contains a link to its definition in a C source file.

Try "M-x describe-function car" to know about list.
Try "M-x describe-function to numberp" to know about number...

I feel strong GNU'ism from the link.
