I'm definitely in favour of this functionality, but from what I can
tell, the test doesn't pass. Your module'd controller is
SubController, but nowhere in the view paths given is there a
test/sub/hello_world.* template for it to render.

The exact error I get is:

  Missing template test/sub.html.erb in view path

...which is a bit more worrying because it's not even looking for
hello_world.erb/rxml/rhtml/anything.

Am I missing something here?
