One point about that sort of thing... it's very inconvenient when you have
twenty files all with the same prefix, as it screws up filename completion
for those of us who depend up on bash and the tab key. In my own projects
I've often wished to place sub-modules in a directory named after the
parent, but don't know what kind of mmake whackery would be required to
make that work...
