For what it's worth, POSIX has
-l
(The letter ell.) Define the math functions and initialize scale
to 20, instead of the default zero; see the EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

Cheers,
On Fri,
Currently, the bc(1) manpage describes "-l" as
Allow specification of an arbitrary precision math library
I am not a native speaker, but "specification of a library"
seems unclear here. It loads /usr/share/misc/bc.library,
not that the user could "specify" some other library to load.
