Hmm. I might agree if this was a big file but this was a tiny file.
I'm against too much filename-churn, esp like what we've seen in the gtk
versions since it makes it hard to maintain, hard to debug, hard to learn
the source (every time you think you knew where something was, it moves
on you), never mind that change for the sake of change is just a way of
injecting bugs.
I'd much rather see folks think about grand new features & worry about
cleanliness of design when they're first coded; time better spent than
trying to go back and make cosmetic changes for the sake of some kind
of purity.
