So when you say it doesn't work, you mean the module autoload didn't
work, but everything else did?  Did you do the 'bump the PR' step after
you uncommmented the module autoload statement?

If that's not it, then I don't know what you say - I tested it with
danny and it worked fine for me.  I can try running through it again to
verify again, but it really should work...
