Issue #7612 has been updated by Peter Meier.
I don't really like
<pre>
export @user {}
</pre>
or
<pre>
export virtual user {}
</pre>
Because exporting a user has only technically todo something with virtual
resources, but from a user point of view not really. At least that's the way
how I see it.
So I would favor:
<pre>
export user {}
</pre>
But still would like to keep
<pre>
@@user{}
</pre>
around, as it's much easier to type.

Feature #7612: Exported resource syntax is too magical, hard to read
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7612

Keywords: puppetcamp-eu-2011
Branch:
The exported resources syntaxe:
@@user { luke: ensure => present }
Is concise and powerful, but very difficult to read. We should consider
word-based syntax, e.g.:
export @user { luke: ensure => present }
And taking into account #7605, perhaps:
export virtual user { luke: ensure => present }
