Bug #6786: Redundant mechanisms to access interface instances
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6786

Author: Paul Berry
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: interfaces
Target version: 2.6.x
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Interface instances may be accessed in two ways:

    Puppet::Interface::interface(:<interface_name>)

Or:

    Puppet::Interface::<Interface_name>

This is unnecessary and confusing.  We should standardize on one mechanism and 
eliminate the other.  I recommend we keep the second mechanism, since it allows 
actions to be invoked using a syntax that looks very familiar to Ruby 
programmers, namely:

    Puppet::Interface::<Interface_name>.<action_name>()

Note: there already exist methods in the standard ruby library for 
programmatically accessing constants, so we would not give up any functionality 
by making this change.
