No, because *.elc files are platform-independent, whereas *.eln files are platform-dependent. It is conceptually incorrect to put them in the same directory, and also against the Posix tree rules. > From my naive vantage, I would usually want that, and I have a hard time thinking of non-convoluted situations > where I would want them to be separate, EXCEPT for the platform-(in)dependent file system issue, which > doesn't seem like a concern for the test suite. First, this is a concern for test suite as well. And besides, what you suggest is a general feature, not something for the test suite alone, AFAIU.
