I understand that these 1-letter directory names are on purpose and are supposed to be cute, but it's really horrible idea. Yeah, explanation of these cryptic names is right there it the README, but it's still confusing if I'm just diving right into the source code to look around. And it serves nothing, as far as I can see. A tradeoff for nothing is kinda… weird.
I won't lie, the 1-letter top-level directories are mostly an indulgence of mine. I got the idea from some of the suckless projects, which use this method as well. It was confusing on their project (no documentation either on those), but it forced me to look into those directories and actually see what the code was doing. I could appreciate that code a whole lot more. I liked that concept a lot, and I hope people will do the same. I know it looks a bit daunting at first, but it's not that hard to get once you figure out what each folder is for (and there aren't that many).
That being said, I do intend to add at least 2 new directories to the top level eventually, and I know that's going to be confusing if they are all one letter.

EDIT: Ignore everything below. I fixed it.
