Issue #11967 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

I'd love it if you took your proposal to the community Steve.

I'm pretty much allergic to this sort of proposal because it's generally caused 
us problems in the past, but I'm well aware of my own biases :)

I'm not sure I'd try to transpose many arguments from OO to Puppet as far as 
The Right Thing goes though :)

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

Author: Steve Shipway
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
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' ]
