No, I didn't miss it. As I said, you can do this with mismatched module 
and file names, but you will encounter issues if your files need to be 
imported elsewhere.

Note, you can send all the files to the compiler, AND name your 
files/directories after your modules/packages. Matching the names 
actually gives you the most options.

What I am specifically identifying as a problem is if you purposely do 
not name your files and directories after your module structure. Then 
you are REQUIRED to pass all the files to the compiler, and this doesn't 
work out well if you just want to import them (and not compile them), 
e.g. for a pre-compiled library.
