I always find it hard to find a test I'm looking for in a directory

Still, I don't think this should be done. Flat is better than nested,
and adding hierarchy will make it *more* difficult to find anything
(except perhaps for the one person who did the rearrangement).

I personally use grep to find the place where to add a new test.
I agree.  There's not much chance I'd know which directory a test for a
given piece of functionality is in, so instead of grepping in a single
directory, I'd have to grep in all of them.  Definitely more hassle.

Really? Given the choice between core_language (divided into syntax
and builtins) and stdlib you wouldn't know where to look?

Really. I wouldn't bother thinking about it.  I'd just grep.

Eric.
