[TYPO3-english] DIR include of TypoScript

It is exactly there for that purpose, but this doesn't mean we should
encourage people to use quite cryptic extensions.

I totally agree with Søren and Jigal here:

Resources/Private/Configuration/TypoScript/Constants/*
Resources/Private/Configuration/TypoScript/Setup/*
Resources/Private/Configuration/pageTSconfig/*
Resources/Private/Configuration/userTSconfig/*

is *much* more clear than different extensions. Just think about the
horror of having all your files mixed up together because they are
sorted alphabetically (which is needed to understand how it will be
included) and not first by extension.

Sure! And this is the reason why I will encourage using different
folders, because it really meets what we have started to do for
extensions since the introduction of Extbase/Fluid and its autoloader.

Anyway, what is great with TYPO3 is the freedom we all have so that you
can choose whatever fits you best and even mix different methods if you
want.

Kind regards

I would hope they get categorized anyway and not simply listed... :)
