I like this idea, though rather than 3-6 filenames I propose
it to be anything longer than 3 lines, which is kinda about when
the pain point should start.  See the immediate SUBDIR below, it
is 11 items on 2ish/3 lines, and any change would worst case be a
3 line diff.  This probably covers a large portion of the tree.

I particularly do not like massive amounts of vertical white
space which this would create, but lacking an automated tool
this is probably a reasonable compromise.

If we did it everywhere it would mean lots of scrolling when
working on rather simple makefiles.
