(File Aliases): Don't claim that usually separate buffers are created for two file names that name the same data. Mention additional situations where different names mean the same file on disk.

 @file{foo} is just an alias.  More complex cases occur when symbolic
 links point to directories.
 
-  If you visit two names for the same file, normally Emacs makes
-two different buffers, but it warns you about the situation.

   Normally, if you visit a file which Emacs is already visiting under
 a different name, Emacs displays a message in the echo area and uses
 the existing buffer visiting that file.  This can happen on systems
-that support symbolic links, or if you use a long file name on a
-system that truncates long file names.  You can suppress the message by
-setting the variable @code{find-file-suppress-same-file-warnings} to a
-non-@code{nil} value.  You can disable this feature entirely by setting
-the variable @code{find-file-existing-other-name} to @code{nil}: then
-if you visit the same file under two different names, you get a separate
-buffer for each file name.
