You cannot make the assumption that that's the one correct way to do 
things. Even if you can't think of a reason that someone would want to 
stuff their files in a subdirectory, that's no reason at all to not allow 
it.

A module is just special type of function. How it gets resolved to a file 
is the job of Node.js, and one method of resolving a file must not be 
prohibited on the basis of "well I wouldn't do it that way." The more 
Node.js can be decoupled from filesystem organisation, especially for the 
sake of implementations that we presently cannot dream of, the better.
