The statement is in node Key Sequence Input of the Elisp manual. I looked in both the Emacs manual and the Elisp manual, and it took some time to find this statement, even though I knew it was there somewhere. This should be indexed under "shift". And it should perhaps be added somewhere in the Emacs manual - users will wonder, as this user did, why `C-L' picks up the key binding of `C-l'.
