Bug #14402: variable interpolation and scope
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14402

Author: Gary Wilson (@earthgecko)

I am somewhat lost in the changes in variable interpolation, the deprecation of 
dynamic lookup and the styling guide documentation vs Scope and Puppet 
documentation (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scope_and_puppet.html) and Bug 
#10146: Puppet interpolates variables differently in 2.7.x 
(https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10146)

So with 2.7.x variables should be declared as `"/root/.ssh/${var}"` according 
to #10146 (to be safe).

The following variable worked with dynamic lookup.

<pre>
  file { "/root/.ssh/${ec2_cert}":
    source => "/opt/keys/controller_keys/${ec2_cert}",
</pre>

Variables were reworked so not just `$var` but to `${var}` to be safe as #10146.
However changing the variables to namespace variables due to dynamic lookup 
deprecation on 2.7.14 the following does not work.

<pre>
  file { "/root/.ssh/${zpf-controller:ec2_cert}":
    source => "/opt/keys/controller_keys/${zpf-controller:ec2_cert}",
</pre>

Errors with the following:

<pre>
May 10 16:19:51 zpf-controller-dev-1-10g-ruk puppet-master[20240]: Syntax error 
at ':'; expected '}' at /etc/puppet/modules/zpf/manifests/init.pp:264 on node 
zpf-controller-dev-2-512m-c4l
</pre>

So the variables are not being interpolated in the curly brackets.
However this does work.

<pre>
  file { "/root/.ssh/$zpf-controller:ec2_cert":
    source => "/opt/keys/controller_keys/$zpf-controller:ec2_cert",
</pre>

Does this mean that you cannot "curly bracket" namespace variables?  Is this a 
bug or another **significant** change in the variable interpolation changes 
that come with 2.7.x?
