Umm, what's the difference between the appearance of organization and
actual organization (assuming one is taking more than a superficial look at
what's going on)? Anyway, style folders would actually organize stuff.
But not necessarily by moving files around in directories. It could be
done that way, as long as linking files were created when a model was put
into more than one style folder. Otherwise, it would require a tracking
file (or meta-statements embedded in the model files) to know which model
is in which folder.
BTW, I'm probably not going to go with style folders. I'll stick with
phyical directories.
