Any reason to hardcode transaction log's root folder name "_delta_log" in DeltaLog.scala file?

So that given the table directory (from Dataframe API or from location in metastore), it is obvious where the log files are.

It could be an option, but what would that flexibility give? It simply easier to assume it's _delta_log and consider it a "magic number" (so external tools know it's a delta table immediately).
