Using the module as the fundamental unit of encapsulation and making it a 1:1 
correspondence with files is a good fit for modern filesystems. (Old filesystems 
were so slow most people would try to cram a program into a small number of files.)

Divorcing modules from file names makes for clumsy, hackish attempts solutions 
to figuring out which file a particular module resides in.
