[racket] Submodule tests vs separate-file tests

[Alexis King]

Is there any preferred convention for location of tests in libraries? Using a test submodule is convenient, but does keeping all the tests in separate files reduce loading costs? Does using submodules bloat the .zo size, or are they compiled separately a la Java inner classes?

Using a submodule does increase the ".zo" file size, but the submodule
portion of the ".zo" file is not loaded when the main module is loaded,
so it's as good as a separate bytecode file.
