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.

That's substantially *less* directory clutter rather than more, just
like __pycache__ vs the old model of implicitly creating adjacent .pyc
and .pyo files.

Cheers,
Nick.
