    Wow, I didn't no we supported this. Why?!
    
    It looks like `classpath://yaml-ref-catalog.yaml` contains:
    ```
    name: Basic app
    services:
    - name: service
      type: yaml.basic:0.1.2
    ```
    so it's not a catalog item. Should we really be able to reference it as a 
type in a catalog item like this? I'd have thought the right way of doing it 
(for an end-user) would be to re-write `yaml-ref-catalog.yaml` as a catalog 
item, deploy it to the catalog, and then reference its type in the normal way 
(which clearly would invalidate this test case).
    
    I suggest we deprecate this asap. I don't think we've documented it 
anywhere, so hopefully no-one is relying on it in anger.
    
    I therefore think it's not worth fixing this test.
