You see, this is a design that's taken hold of a lot of codebases, and I don't think it works. I see a lot of projects with big folders mixing top level exports, implementation files, tests, test utils, fixtures and the like.

I'd much rather see the 'mirrored' approach.

I'm _sure_ I've seen something like this in IntelliJ.

EDIT: I did! It's in the changes tab > the eye icon > 'show files related to active changelist'. It then sometimes will make suggestions based on project history.
