Refactor #7717: Implicit `puppet apply` behaviour on the command line is 
awful...
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7717

Author: Daniel Pittman
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal

Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.0rc3
Keywords: 
Branch: 


At the moment we have a bunch of ways to implicitly invoke `puppet apply` on 
the command line, mostly in the name of backward compatibility:

<pre>
] puppet apply
] puppet -
] puppet foo.rb
] puppet foo.pp
</pre>

We also treat *anything* with a leading `-` as an implicit invocation of 
`puppet apply`, presumably to support the case of `puppet --verbose` being an 
apply.  The last is kind of crazy, though: we don't support arguments like that 
anywhere else, and it has all this strange behaviour....

We should clean this up: deprecate, or just pull, this use.  It isn't like 
`puppet apply ${whatever}` is much harder than `puppet ${whatever}`, and the 
transformation could be done more or less mechanically...
