This addresses the relatively common case where the graph consists of two segments, such as x y, z w; in this case we want an output like (x_y) (z w | z_w) | x y (z_w). The generated output does somewhat pessimize a few other cases, but this one is arguably more important.
Look, this will make the git history look funny, but trimming unnecessary depth from the source tree is a very necessary sanity-preserving measure when dealing with a super-modularized codebase like this one.
While it makes the project configuration a bit less conventional, it will save you several clicks every time you jump between modules. Which you'll do a lot, because it's *modul*ar. The src/main/java convention makes a lot of sense for a non-modular project though. This ain't that.
