Feature #2545: Ability to do "mkdir -p" with a file resource
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2545

It would be nice to have "mkdir -p" ability w/o an exec resource.
I was thinking this might be a good syntax:

<pre>
file { '/my/path/here':
  ensure => directory,
  recurse => true
}
</pre>

(if this doesn't conflict with any other use/meaning of the recurse attribute)

Side note:
I'm currently using:
<pre>
exec { 'create_my_dir':
  command => 'mkdir -p /my/path/here',
  creates => '/my/path/here'
}
file { '/my/path/here/some.file':
  source => ...
}
</pre>

It would be neat if the file resource here could autorequire an exec that has 
"create=>parent-dir" attribute, instead of only looking for File[parent-dir].  
Of course, if I can do mkdir -p in a file resource I won't need this, but 
thought I'd mention this idea.. probably anywhere it autorequires File[x] it 
could also look for Exec with creates=>x.
