I picked this key binding for mnemonic reasons (h -> help, l ->

Hm... Finding a library isn't exactly a help command, so I think it
would be somewhat confusing to put it there. But I don't have a good
suggestion for where to put otherwise.
Library commentaries are one of the primary sources of documentation
in Emacs, so I think it's pretty help-related.
FWIW I use this same binding, and in my mind it makes excellent sense
to use C-h C-l for `find-library' if you also have:
C-h C-v for `find-variable'
C-h C-f for `find-function'
C-h C-k for `find-function-on-key'
All of which feel (to me) analogous to C-h v, C-h f, and C-h k: Without
the Ctrl modifier you view the docstrings; with it you view the code.
(Admittedly C-h l is unconnected, but that hasn't bothered me.
Following
my pattern that would probably be bound to `finder-commentary', but I'm
not suggesting we move `view-lossage' elsewhere.)
I guess my main point is that I do think of *all* of these things as
help-related, as I consider reading the code as just the next step up
from reading the docstrings.
