This is excellent -- it seems to work great when I tried it for
load/require/provide. It seems a _much_ better method for shortening
filenames than the "painfully contrived cryptic abbreviations" method
we've used previously.
In addition, it actually makes the source tree look better: Redundant
prefixes on every file in a package are ugly even when the filesystem
can deal with the extra length, but I thought they were required to make
require/provide work -- but as you point out, maybe not...!
If we're going to group all the files for a package in a subdirectory
anyway, why not take advantage of that structure?
