Bug #4085: template() function prefers global templates, no way to explicitly 
say I want the module template
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4085

Author: Joel Heenan
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Luke Kanies
Category: functions
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.5
Keywords: 
Branch: 


given at site.pp:

<pre>
node "localhost" {
    alert("localhost")

    import "foo"
}
</pre>

and foo's init.pp:

<pre>
file { "/tmp/foo":
    content => template("foo/foo.erb")
}
<pre>

If you have a template in the templatedir directory in a folder foo/foo.erb 
that will be preferred over the modules template. And there is no way to say "I 
want to explicitly use the modules template". 

I propose that the template() function is extended to support syntax in the 
form:

template("modules/foo/foo.erb")

so the template can be explicitly requested. I'm working on a patch for this 
now.

I have verified this bug affects the latest github code.
