Description

By default C-c C-l (ac-merlin-locate) follows the merlin-locate-preference setting (defaults to the implementation file). However i feel like it would be handy to have another shortcut but where this preference is flipped: defaulting to the interface file.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the Emacs Lisp configuration file for merlin, locate the keybinding for ac merlin locate, and add a new keybinding that calls the same function with merlin locate preference set to the opposite value.
