Bug #3955: Specifying file content by checksum should not use 'content' property
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3955

Author: Markus Roberts
Status: Accepted
Priority: High

Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: development

Rather than passing around the contents of a file (e.g. in logs) we use the 
checksum; to support this the users is also allowed to _specify_ the contents 
as a checksum, but this leads to an ambiguity when the actual contents match 
the checksum pattern.

Instead of trying to do magic, we should have distinct syntax for referring to 
the contents by checksum (which should _always_ expect a valid checksum) and 
for specifying the contents literally (which shouldn't do anything different if 
the contents happen to resemble a checksum).
