Bug #4428: Parameterized classes in namespaces result in strange syntax in nodes
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4428

Author: Stefan Schimanski
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: parser
Target version: queued
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: parameterized classes
namespaces

Branch: 


Consider a namespace with a parameterized class:

    class bla {
      class foo {
      }
      class bar ($x=42) {
        notify { "x = $x": }
      }
    }

To include the nested class into a node one would write:

    node default {
      include bla::foo
      class { bla::bar: x => 42 }
    }
    
which does not work as bla::bar is not a allowed symbol by the parser. You have 
to quote it:

    node default {
      include bla::foo
      class { "bla::bar": x => 42 }
    }
    
IMHO, Using the title attribute is very strange with this odd syntax as a 
consequence. Why isn't there something like:

  include bla::foo { x => 42 }

?
