Issue #7788 has been updated by Andrew Kesterson.

Voted this up. Anything that gives me more ability to write in ruby is a huge 
benefit. I can't tell you how often I've found myself wanting to do simple 
things in a module (like iterate over a hashmap, for example), and had to drop 
to the ruby DSL to get it done. If I have to drop to ruby to do serious lifting 
anyway, I would (honestly) rather spend ALL my time there, instead of splitting 
my work between the ruby language and the puppet DSL. If this can get me one 
step closer to never having to touch the janky, custom puppet DSL again, I will 
love it to death.

Feature #7788: Puppet should allow rubygems to deliver new functionality
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7788#change-65664

Author: R.I. Pienaar
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Kelsey Hightower
Category: plug-ins
Target version: 3.0.0
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: rubygems autoloader
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/873


It would be desirable to use Rubygems to install things like parser functions. 

There might be cases where you only want a function on the master, pluginsync 
would copy it everywhere and everywhere might not have the dependencies needed 
to run it.

If the autoloader considered the rubygem search path while autoloading this 
should allow gems to extend puppet.
