----------------------------------------
Bug #3939: ALLCAPS variables arent usable in templates.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3939

Author: R.I. Pienaar
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: parser
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.9
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Puppet lets you set all caps variables in the manifest that you couldnt use in 
a template:

<pre>
$FOO = "bar"
notice "from puppet: ${FOO}"
notice inline_template("<%= FOO %>") 
</pre>

Output is:

<pre>
notice: Scope(Class[main]): from puppet: bar
Failed to parse inline template: uninitialized constant 
Puppet::Parser::TemplateWrapper::FOO at /home/rip/test.pp:4 on node 
nephilim.ml.org
</pre>

Not sure if you can make the template not handle those as constants, but if not 
then the language shouldn't let us make all caps variables.
