Typo:
Change map_symtabs_matching_filename to be find_symtab_in_compunit_symtab, and ..."
Should be:
Change map_symtabs_matching_filename to be find_symtab_matching_filename, and ..."

This comment doesn't make sense. The find_symtab_matching_filename
function is a member function of `objfile` not
`quick_symbol_functions`. You didn't write that, but it looks like a
pre-existing mistake in the comment. Can you fix that please? Maybe:
The return value, NAME, REAL_PATH and CALLBACK are identical to the
`objfile::find_symtab_matching_filename' method.
Would do?

The next line of this comment references
iterate_over_one_compunit_symtab, and should be updated to
find_symtab_in_compunit_symtab.

Ahh, I should have looked ahead! I complained about this in the last
patch, but I see it's now gone. No need to change the last patch I
guess.
