Nope.  't/' is the standard name for directory with "normal" tests, at
least in Perl / CPAN land, where TAP comes from ('xt/' is for extra
tests)

So what?  It is not because Perl has set this horrible precedent that we
have to perpetuate it.  I personally never saw t used as a directory
name for tests before Git, and I'm not that young anymore unfortunately.

CPAN is around 21000 distributions and 88000 modules.  Most of those use
't/' for tests (default CPAN client to download and install modules runs
those tests before installing module).

The MySQL project (and its clones) also uses the t/ convention.

OK, that makes for another one.

Now what about those hundred counter-example projects _not_ using "t" 
but something more descriptive?

You mean those counter-example projects that use and include comprehensive
tests, isn't it?

Well, GCC uses 'testsuite/'.  Mozilla uses 'testing/'.
