What would you do?
Have no structure (no mod)? Or automatically create it from the file structure?
I think this is a good possibility, make the module/crate organisation mirror
the filesystem (or the opposite):
* 1 module = 1 file of code
* 1 package = 1 dir
This may be limiting at times, possibility one may want multi-module files and
multi-file modules. But this forms a good, simple base (anyway, we have mini &
maxi modules & code files, whatever the logical & physical organisations).
Another point is that very often we have package (I mean crate ;-) sub-dirs
which are not packages themselves. Then, as usual, we'd have a special code file
representing a package at its top dir (the same name as the package, or a magic
name like 'main').
Then, module sharing is code file sharing, and package management is dir
management (trivially .zip-ed or .tar.gz-ed, and then the name "package" is here
for something).
