Maybe no. "files" is a generic word, so if you make every "xxx_files/"
folders magical, it's quite possible that there are folders happen to
ends with "_files" but are not intented to be local web apps. If you
require a `xxx.html` to make "xxx_files/" magical, it is a little
awkward and confusing for muli-page app.

This is why I propose a new (and unlikely already used) pattern
`xxx_webrun/` for more powerful muli-page app, and limit `xxx_files/`
to
single page app.

In single page app case, it would be more common that `test.html` gets
`test_files\page{2|3}.html` via XHR and renders the latter in place,
instead of navigating to it.
So the latter don't need to access `test_files\config.json` themselves.
*any* magic behavior is a sure-fire sign that something is wrong(TM)
Maybe. But there are occasions where magic is unavoidable. E.g. how to 
infer the MIME type of a file? filename extension? magic numbers? all 
are magic.

If the barrier is not high enough, name it `xxx__webrun__/`.
