Sorry, fix it how?  Should we assume that something in `puppet/functions` was 
intended to be in `puppet/parser/functions`?  Spell-check filenames and see if 
that makes it possible to autoload a file?  Use the hamming distance between 
the name of a file and the name of a file we could autoload to figure out the 
user meant it to work, but got it wrong?

.....yes.

So, how is this different from the proposal that:

 * if the change is under a path we “own” like puppet or facter, we should warn.
 * we should support something like puppet/util that you can throw random junk 
into as a user.
 * we should not warn for foo or other top level namespaces we don’t own.

If you put files in a module in a directory that doesn't get autoloaded there 
should be some sort of warning.
