What does "recipy" mean? It's not an English word.

I don't think there's any problem with 'src', 'doc', 'bin', 'ext'. If you're
a newbie, you're going to have to learn what those things stand for anyway.

I think Jim is documenting current best practice, not trying to invent
something which is different and incompatible with current practice.
