On a separate note, where do we, in the long term, want tests to live?

I'm wondering about the scalability of having tests in the same source file
reducing the readability, and whether we want conventions to avoid this.
I'm not saying 100% of tests have to, say, live in separate files
(e.g. foo.c tests -> foo-test.c or some such).
I'm just paranoid about having a repeat of the massive readability reduction
from the adding of record support to *-tdep.c files.

[Imagine how the sources will look 5 years from now.]
