Issue #6863 has been updated by Ian Ward Comfort.
Keywords changed from parser to parser array function argument
Yep, it's the parser that doesn't want an array as a function argument. I've
just run into the same issue with one of my custom functions, and worked around
it like this:
<pre>
$array = []
$var = myfunction("some other argument", $array)
</pre>
It would be a lot nicer to fix the parser, though.

Bug #6863: extlookup should handle arrays as default values
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6863
Author: Mark Heily
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: parser
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.3
Keywords: parser array function argument
Branch:
The extlookup() function is unable to return an array as a default value. For
example, one would expect this to work:
$x = extlookup($fqdn, [])
Unfortunately, this causes a syntax error:
Error 400 on SERVER: Syntax error at '['; expected ']'
I consider this a bug because extlookup() can return an array; the
documentation states "you can return arrays by just having multiple values in
the csv after the initial variable name." If it can return an array, you ought
to be able to provide an array as the default value.
