Issue #86 has been updated by Michael DeHaan.
Lots of reasons why we can't do this, but it would be nice to have. I think we
should list the limitations and side effects and still have it, but not make
"absent" work.
Even if we just had ...
File { expand("/tmp/path/one/two",1): ensure => directory } as shorthand for
listing the arrays of each directory without including part of the root (which
might be a duplicate).
Or just add mkdir -p into the provider (as mentioned) and surround it will
skulls and crossbones about how it determines permissions, following what mkdir
-p does for the most part, and listing when it's a bad idea. After all, even
Haskell has some provision for side effects :)
Longer term, if we duplicate resources, and they are 100% the same, maybe
that's not an error and they resolve to the same resource. I don't know.
