support for module naming or separate .internal.ts .api.ts files

Just posted this via the feedback form but will post it here in case anyone else wants to comment on it.

I currently organise all my code as follows:

convex
├── domain
│ ├── table
│ │ ├── queries
│ │ │ ├── getFoo.ts
│ │ │ └── getBar.ts
│ │ ├── mutations
│ │ │ ├── insertFoo.ts
│ │ │ └── insertBar.ts
│ │ ├── actions
│ │ │ └── userflow.ts
│ │ └── table.ts
│ ├── queries.ts // barrel exports
│ ├── mutations.ts
│ ├── actions.ts
│ └── tables.ts
├── actions.ts
├── queriesPublic.ts
├── queriesInternal.ts
├── mutationsInternal.ts
├── mutationsPublic.ts
└── schema.ts

This allows me to keep everything really organised. Each query/mutation function in the table folder looks like:

import { v } from "convex/values";
import { MutationCtx } from "cvx/_generated/server"; // I have cvx path alias set up for convex directory.

type Args = { ... };

export const fooFn = async (ctx: MutationCtx, { ... }: Args) => { await ctx.db.insert("foo", {...}); };

export const fooMutation = { args: {...}, handler: fooFn };

import { v } from "convex/values";
import { MutationCtx } from "cvx/_generated/server"; // I have cvx path alias set up for convex directory.

type Args = { ... };

export const fooFn = async (ctx: MutationCtx, { ... }: Args) => { await ctx.db.insert("foo", {...}); };

export const fooMutation = { args: {...}, handler: fooFn };

In the top level mutation files, I can then import all the mutation objects and wrap them:

mutationsInternal.ts

import * as domainA from "cvx/domainA/mutations";
import * as domainB from "cv/domainB/mutations";

const foo = internalMutation(domainA.privateFooMutation);
const bar = internalMutation(domainB.privateBarMutation);

import * as domainA from "cvx/domainA/mutations";
import * as domainB from "cv/domainB/mutations";

const foo = internalMutation(domainA.privateFooMutation);
const bar = internalMutation(domainB.privateBarMutation);

mutationsPublic.ts

import * as domainA from "cvx/domainA/mutations";
import * as domainB from "cvx/domainB/mutations";

const baz = mutation(domainA.bazMutation);
const qux = mutation(domainB.quxMutation);

import * as domainA from "cvx/domainA/mutations";
import * as domainB from "cvx/domainB/mutations";

const baz = mutation(domainA.bazMutation);
const qux = mutation(domainB.quxMutation);

I like this because then I can keep my internal and public mutations and queries separate from each other which feels like better practice.

However, when I want to use them I then have to type out internal.mutationsInternal.foo or api.mutationsPublic.baz which is mildly annoying because of the naming redundancy - see comment as hitting message length limit
