Re: [Bug: 21.4.15] 'find-library' should NOT find '.elc' files

In general, find-library is supposed to find the source for the

find the contents of an elc enlightening doesn't mean that other
programmers wouldn't.
I'll second this. Sometimes, if you only have the compiled .elc,
one may have to hand-decompile it to fix bugs (with the help of
disass.el, of course ;-).
