I actually quite like that proposal, despite the length, because it  
groups together all the RSpec stuff in one place, while still  
maintaining a separation between the two main parts (the specs and  
the stories).

But I do think "behaviour/specs" is a better choice than "behaviour/ 
examples" because "specs" seems to have more currency out there; I  
think "specs" is much more closely related with RSpec in people's  
minds than "examples". Say "specs" and people think "RSpec", but say  
"examples" and they could think any number of things.

One alternative: "rspec/examples" (or "rspec/specs") and "rspec/ 
stories". Saves about 4 characters if you're worried about length,  
and also provides some "advertising" for RSpec. I remember when I  
first started using RSpec it struck me as odd that the specs were  
stored in a folder called "spec" rather than "rspec" or "specs".

Well, you could make that change, but it's probably not all that  
important. I certainly wouldn't oppose it.
