Some further thoughts: 1) Xcode seems to use the term "Sources" to describe a collection of source files. 2) There seems to be something called AppleInternal/Sources/JavaScriptCore (possibly only on Windows). 3) We have a notion of DerivedSources. Would using "Sources" be more consistent with these terms?
