 Regarding the list under Plugin Files in the Plugin Editor (plugin-
 editor.php):

 1. Plugin root directory does not need to be mentioned in the file list.

 2. In order to improve readability, directories should be marked in a way
 that distinguishes them from the filename.

 Preferably directories should not be shown next to every file, but rather
 as headers, under which all files in the same directory are grouped. This
 would make the list a lot shorter, as currently most of the filename-and-
 path-combinations span two lines.

 3. The form of the list should be changed to limit the total height of the
 list. This is especially useful for plugins with dozens of editable files.

 One way would be to use a < ul > element with expansible/collapsible
 directory headers, showing only the first-level directories and files by
 default.
