Contestant 4: "Put in clinic directory, add .h" foo.c -> clinic/foo.c.h foo.h -> clinic/foo.h.h

-1. (Generated files are located far from origins, directory name clutters the namespace of directory names). Larry's not talking about a top level directory here (at least I hope he isn't). This proposal would mean using "Objects/clinic", "Python/clinic", "Modules/clinic" as appropriate. This means the appearance of directories with the common name "clinic" in random places of the source tree. Some special name ("clinic", ".clinic") looks slightly less confusing to me. "clinic" shouldn't be such a common name in C soures :) Sources tree already has one "clinic" directory (Tools/clinic/).

This observation and the cjkcodecs comparison has prompted me to switch my votes for #4 and #5: +1 for clinic, +0 for clinic.

I still prefer a subdirectory to adjacent files, though.

Cheers, Nick.
