 Current Django behavior is that only files are allowed for custom django-
 admin commands definition. It would be great if Django permitted
 directories (see example below).

 Current (required) style:
 {{{
 app_example/management/commands
 ├── first_command.py
 └── second_command.py
 }}}

 New style:
 {{{
 app_example/management/commands
 ├── first_command
 │   ├── __init__.py
 │   └── some_useful_data
 └── second_command
     └── __init__.py
 }}}

 Or combined style:
 {{{
 app_example/management/commands
 ├── first_command
 │   ├── __init__.py
 │   └── some_useful_data
 └── second_command.py
 }}}

 This feature allows developers to use additional files (some_useful_data
 is this case) in structured way, also providing encapsulation.

 The only code to be changed is in file
 `django/core/management/__init__.py` line 27:
 From `if not is_pkg and not name.startswith('_')]`
 To `if not name.startswith('_')]`

 After this change, function `find_commands` won't ignore packages
 (directories).

 Also, backward compatibility will be saved (because single files work in
 the same way).
