Is the practice of naming the directory `snippets` well-established or 
mandated? Otherwise I think a name like `snippet-files` (akin to `doc-files`) 
would be much better, since it indicates that is not a java package name. 
(These do not usually include `-`; I am unsure if this is prohibited by the 
specification, or just not used by convention.)

In fact, when checking, I see that there is already a handful of 
`snippet-files`:

./jdk.jfr/share/classes/jdk/jfr/snippet-files
./jdk.jfr/share/classes/jdk/jfr/consumer/snippet-files
./java.compiler/share/classes/javax/tools/snippet-files


So maybe rename it to `snippet-files`, and I'll look into making exclusion of 
`snippet-files` be done automatically.
