`find-library' isn't bound to any key, but I think it probably should be. `C-x 4 l' seems like as good a keystroke as any. Any thought from other people? I use the command quite a lot...
I think the "other window" version should simply be a separate command, like find-function-other-window, xref-find-definitions-other-window, etc.
Having a default binding for it would be a bit odd, considering find-library doesn't have one.
2. I think that the other-window version is far more useful than the same-window version. So if other-window behavior is available only via a prefix arg I'd prefer that it be the other way around: a prefix arg uses the same window; no prefix arg uses another window. (Yes, that would be a change in the default behavior.)
-1 from me.
The command now uses pop-to-buffer-same-window, which is quite customisable, as I understand things. (I haven't looked into the new-fangled window popping controlling functions.) So I think this should be customisable ... somehow ... by the users now.
It's... not as easy as one might hope. And if you customize `find-library' to use the other window this way, there will be no way to have it use the current window just this one time. And vice versa.
