Repro steps

ng g lib anything-routing

The log given by the failure

Could not find an NgModule. Use the skip-import option to skip importing in NgModule.

Desired functionality

If you treat libraries as Feature Modules and follow Angular guidelines you should be able to create library called feature-routing

Mention any other details that might be useful

Note: at the moment anything which is -routing.module.ts is reserved for routing.

[alan-agius4]

This needs to be discussed further due to style guides. If we should allow non routing modules to be named with -routing.module

At this location, where we report the error:

angular-cli/packages/schematics/angular/utility/find-module.ts

Line 75 in 44086c6

throw new Error('Could not find an NgModule. Use the skip-import '

we should make it clear that we don't add to the routing module, and -routing.module.ts is special, so don't do that.
