I obviously missed semicolon here...

One more thing to note is that the fourth candidate might not end
with "/modules" and force us to update these existing three to have
"/modules" at the end and lose appending "/modules" from these two
lines to compensate.  That is sort of deliberate (i.e. as long as we
can share "/modules" as a common substring at the end, it is OK to
take advantage of that).
