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?

I'd tend to agree with ben here - a single directory for all tests
does scale well and makes the purpose of each test unclear.
Besides, grep -r could traverse the directory tree.
+1 nested :)
