Bug #15329: Puppet lacks a proper "undefined" value
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15329#change-69370

Author: Pieter van de Bruggen
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Pieter van de Bruggen
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


    $y = undef
    notice($y == "")  # true
    notice($x == $y)  # true
    notice($x == "")  # true

Recent changes in the Puppet DSL made equality commutative (good!), but in 
doing so broke work-arounds for actually testing for the difference between an 
undefined and "empty" value.  The most logical fix would be to equate Puppet's 
`undef` with Ruby's `nil`.
