Say I have a folder with one or more periods in its name, such as foo.bar. Currently, SPM sees this as a a .bar bundle and forces me to either list it as a resource, or to exclude it from my target.
Is there any way to make SPM "leave it alone" and just treat it as a regular old directory? I want the files within it to be treated as normal. E.g. asset catalogs are picked up as resources, .swift files are picked up as sources, etc.
For background:
On macOS, a folder with a directory in its name will be treated as a bundle only if there's a registered UTI that conforms to com.apple.bundle which is associated with that filename extension. Even still, bundles are really just directories, and you can still browse their contents.
On Linux, dots in folder names have no special significance, and there is no "bundle" concept, at all!
