FWIW, I think you could save a level of naming if you were willing to
put the type first, since the type would imply whether the object
lives in a schema or not:

        [type]/[name].sql
        [type]/[schema]/[name].sql


Could work. But I think it's more relevant and useful to keep all objects
in a schema in its own directory.

That way it's easier to get an overview of what's in a schema,
simply by looking at the file structure of the schema directory.

I think its more common you want to "show all objects within schema X"
than "show all schemas of type X".

PS.

I was thinking -- the guys back in the 70s must have spent a lot of time
thinking about the UNIX directory structure -- before they decided upon it.

I did some googling and found found this explanation which was quite
amusing to say the least :-)
