   The behavior to copy entire directory contents of a <source-file> element in case of a directory in the `src` attribute is undocumented. It is now working on cordova-ios@latest, cordova-osx@latest, and cordova-android@6 but not cordova-android@latest. (Source files would be put into incorrect subdirectory on cordova-android@latest.) But there are a couple issues with this undocumented feature on iOS and macOS ("osx"):
   * this feature does not work with header files
   * not possible to specify build flags per source file
   
   I can think of the following possible solutions:
   * explicitly remove this undocumented behavior
   * fix the behavior on cordova-android and document it
