Rewrite catalog_blocks_layer_view does nothing

Question

I've tried rewriting catalog_blocks_layer_view with this config in a module (the module is turned on and works.) but my rewrite isn't rewriting and I'm not getting any errors. Does anyone know what could be up? Thank you!

config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Company_Mods>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </Company_Mods>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <blocks>
            <catalog>
                <rewrite>
                    <layer_view>Company_Mods_Block_Catalog_Layer_View</layer_view>
                </rewrite>
            </catalog>
        </blocks>
    </global>
</config>

rewrite:

<?php
class Company_Mods_Block_Catalog_Layer_View extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Layer_View {
    public function getFilters()
    {
        $filters = array();

        $filterableAttributes = $this->_getFilterableAttributes();
        foreach ($filterableAttributes as $attribute) {
            $filters[] = $this->getChild($attribute->getAttributeCode() . '_filter');
        }

        return $filters;
    }
}

Your config.xml looks correct. That means one, or many, or all, of the following are true

1. You're missing the module's app/etc/module/* declaration file,

2. You have your block class in the incorrect location

3. Your block actually is rewritten, but you think it's not for an incorrect reason

Download this working Company_Mods module and diff it vs. your module. If there are no differences, come back and tell us why you think your module is not working.
