    load-library seems to handle both load-path names and
    explicitly-specified pathnames. [The completion help is kind
    of screwy though -- tons of duplicate entries are show]

Right - both load-library and load-file just call `load'. I was speaking
only of the completion, responding to Richard, who mentioned that they both
did completion now.

It looks like they complete differently: `load-library' completes libraries
(as Richard said), wrt your load-path; `load-file' completes file names, wrt
the default-directory.

I think it's good to have these two different kinds of completion (that is,
two different commands), even though the aim in both cases is to load a Lisp
file, and both will accept an absolute file name as argument.
