Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5928 Add pattern matching to Runtime Type Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/02/19 9:24 AM Fix Versions: PUP 4.x Priority: Normal Reporter: Henrik Lindberg Currently the Runtime type can describe only one class at the time. As we plan to use this to provide mappings from general models to an implementation (e.g. to bind AST related classes like Locator, or the AST itself) to puppet names in such a way that implementations in different languages can read/write a data stream where instances are identified by the puppet name), it is onerous having to individually define those mappings (AST =~ 100 classes). To support this, the Runtime type should provide regular _expression_ support. Currently it only accepts a single classname. $in_my_package_t = Runtime[ruby, /MyPackage::.*/] (code} can then be used to answer if an implementation instance is an instance of that runtime type.
