Feature #3300: appending to variables already defined in this scope
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3300

Hello,

As mentioned in the doc, it is possible since 0.24.6 to append to variables 
already defined in a different scope. But when appending to a variable already 
defined in the scope, like in the following example:

`define foo ($val) {
    $bar = [ 'val1', 'val2' ]

    if $val != '' {
        $bar += [ $val ]
    }
}`

puppet returns the following error:

`Cannot append, variable bar is defined in this scope at /tmp/test.pp:8 on node 
host`

Appending to variables already defined in the scope could be useful when we 
want to adapt the behavior of a class or a define depending of variable values.

Regards,
Xavier
