Bug #7270: unify global options with face and action options...
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7270

Author: Daniel Pittman
Status: Accepted
Priority: Low

Category: Faces
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: development
Keywords: 
Branch: 


At the moment we handle global options for faces in a ... different way.  They 
are basically the old fashioned application options, kind of vaguely repurposed 
to do something approximating the right thing.  We should unify the behaviour 
of those, ideally along with options derived from our configuration system, and 
make them all behave consistently.

This would naturally want to involve unification of the DSL for declaring 
options, and in turn for introspection of them: that would make it practical to 
have them in the help output, and so forth.  Which is desirable, especially 
round the area of option validation.

It also means we can unify error handling, so that we don't have some classes 
of validation resulting in good help output, and others resulting in bad help 
output, just because they are handled by different substrates in the product.
