Feature #3522: a "mkdir -p" option for the file type

There should be an option that will create a nested directory tree, like the
"-p" flag for mkdir.
I should be able to create:
/my/special/tree/structure with one file resource, instead of four - I should
be able to:
file { "mytree" :
path => "/my/special/tree/structure",
ensure => directory,
create => true,
}
instead of:
file { "my" :
path => "/my",
ensure => directory,
before => File["special"],
}
file { "special" :
path => "/my/special",
ensure => directory,
before => File["tree"],
}
file { "tree" :
path => "/my/special/tree",
ensure => directory,
before => File["structure"],
}
file { "structure" :
path => "/my/special/tree/structure",
ensure => directory,
}
Another idea, rather than creating a new "create" parameter would be to
overload the recurse parameter.
