Is it possible to use a naming pattern other than /path/to/module/default.nix?

👋 firstly – thanks for building this! (it's helped me get into Nix much faster than i thought i would. 🙂)

i'm relatively new to nix, so maybe using **/default.nix is idiomatic nix – but i'm curious if it's possible to support a scheme like... modules/homes/programs/shells/zsh.nix.

the aim of doing this is to avoid the case where you're working on multiple files (in coordination) and all you can glance is default.nix | default.nix | default.nix | .... (of course, most editors will disambiguate with parent directories, but often times these are much smaller text, thus making it less likely to be glanced.)

i'm happy to help – i'm just not sure: (1) if it's an ideally supported mode and (2) where to start (it seems like flake-utils-plus leverages **/default.nix?

(also, if this is a dupe – apologies! i didn't see anything that mirrored this, but that could just be my still growing understanding of nix. 😅)

See #57

I agree it makes maintenance much easier adding this (note you still need the x/default.nix structure for more complex cases.)
