Apparently the "encouraged" way is using `name.rs`:

    https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/items/modules.html#module-source-filenames
    https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/path-changes.html#no-more-modrs

Another argument I saw for `name.rs` is that one can easily the name
of the file in editor's tabs/titles, and some of the editors can add
part of the path to disambiguate, which may take more space in the UI.

Cheers,
Miguel
