yes, some of this appears to come from a time where 8.3 was
the rule for filenames.

The question is how far we want/can go. In Gemstone/S, Pharo
there is a push to "filetree". There a class is spread over
a directory hieracy. E.g. like this:

	ClassName.class/
			instance/
				fooSelector.st
			class/
				classSideSelector
			meta informationen..

	Extension.extension/
		..

now this is nice for automatic tools (e.g. move a method
is a move of a file). Even for "recording changes" it is
quite nice but the downside is that "git grep" and reading
a single class at a time is difficult.

do you have an idea on how to move forward?
