I'm definitely with Adam on this one. Nobody is intuitively know what "at" means, and it isn't obvious that there's a need for the directory name to be short. > I would like to suggest that we adopt, recommend, (and support with > tools, etc) a "standard" (convention) for storing additional tests. > > MyModule-v0.0.1/ > xt/ > author/ > network/ > > Or something along those lines.

It seems far from obvious to me. Anything under this directory isn't going to get run with 'normal' tests, which is an unusual requirement. > As for the 'xt' name: Nobody is intuitively know what "xt" means, and it isn't obvious that there's a need for the directory name to be short. > I think anything starting with 't' would get annoying as far as > tab-complete goes. You'd only have to type 2 characters for the new directory name, and "t" itself would obviously remain a single character that doesn't even require pressing Tab. Smylers
