Nigel,

I am suggesting that this feature be rejected as there are other ways to 
achieve the desired results without changing behavior.

Feature #11967: split() function does not work on array variables
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11967

Author: Steve Shipway
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Kelsey Hightower
Category: functions
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords: split
Branch: 


The split() function results in an error message if the first parameter is an 
array.
While this usage may not have been originally intended, it would be very useful 
for it to handle this case as we are using split() to handle the return value 
of extlookup which can be either a string or an array.

EG:

$avar = [ 'a.b', 'c', 'd.e' ]
$b = split( $avar, '[.]' )

Currently results in error, but would be better if it resulted in $b = [ 'a', 
'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' ]
