In this case, I wasn't using any documentation. I have created types/
providers before, and I have tripped over this before.
In terms of organization, it's logical that providers are grouped
under a directory (named by Puppet Type) -- I simply have a tendancy
to presume it to have the same org as a custom type.
Maybe it will stick this time? ;)
