Research direction

No files or tests are named. First resolve whether the lint should prefer module.rs only when there are no submodules, or always prefer it once that syntax is allowed; then review existing rust-clippy lint patterns. Done means the intended rule is agreed, implemented, and covered by tests for both module layouts.
