----------------------------------------
Feature #11875: warning for "Could not look up qualified variable 'foo::bar' "
should report the fully-qualified class name being examined

Affected Puppet version: 2.7.9

Consider the following manifest, assuming the classes and such were separated
into the correct file structure
<pre>stage { 'init': }->Stage['main']
class config ($server_id => 1) { ... }
class mysql ($server_id => config::$server_id) { ... }
class mysql::config inherits mysql { ... }
Class {'config': }->Class {'mysql': }->Class['mysql::config': }</pre>
During apply, puppet will report a warning similar to:
warning: Scope(Class[Mysql]): Could not look up qualified variable
'config::server_id'; class **config** has not been evaluated at
/etc/puppet/modules/mysql/manifests/init.pp:17
What actually is happening is config::$server_id is resolving to
::mysql::config::$server_id rather than the intended ::config::$server_id, and
the warning is generated since mysql::config has not yet been evaluated.
Furthermore, this only happens if there is a class named mysql::config -- if it
were named, say, 'mysql::files' instead, the code works as intended.
That's not readily obvious from the warning message, however. If the warning
message instead read:
warning: Scope(Class[Mysql]): Could not look up qualified variable
'config::server_id'; class **mysql::config** has not been evaluated at
/etc/puppet/modules/mysql/manifests/init.pp:17
it would be far more obvious as to what's happening.
