i do also happen to think that there are conditions under which english (/ human language) name being changed would be better for reasons i mentioned before, but this is less of an issue from the perspective of api breakage / use in codebases.

i think not changing english names can lead to a kind of confusion that i think it would be nice to avoid (cf. firefox situation) in communication as well as being potentially misleading.

searching for things later can also become more complicated by not changing names because one can end up with more stuff to sift through.

to clarify a bit of why i don't want to talk in terms of `import` so much is at least partly because it has complexities that make discussion and thought more cumbersome.  listed at [this page](https://janet-lang.org/docs/modules.html) are relative imports, working directory imports, @-prefixed imports, and imports can be customzied a fair bit as well.

* description

  create and run certain "tests" that live in comment forms -
  "comment-hidden expression tests".

* rationale

  * want some meaningful "tests" / "usages" to co-evolve with
    development from as early as desired with little activation
    effort.

* repository organization

  * make the main deliverable `<name>.janet` -- the extension is
    important if wanting to be able to use as a library.  nicest if
    this deliverable sits in the repository root as well.

  * for libraries, could still have a `<name>` directory that has the
    content `init.janet` and `<name>.janet` for jpm / jeep
    installation, but `<name>.janet` can still be used independently
    as a single file library?  would be nice to have `<name>.janet` at
