I'm not sure how you got them loaded without requesting/sourcing them
explicitly.

They do work. They're simply fun little toys that demonstrate the
flexibility of vimscript, but they're not intended to be loaded every
time that you start vim.

One might complain that the mappings should all be buffer-local
mappings, which I'd agree with. Fortunately, that's a fairly easy
fix of swapping all the "map" commands for "map <buffer>" to keep
them from leaking out elsewhere.
