Issue #16221 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Eric, what is the state of this change?  Should we be reverting the behaviour, 
keeping the new behaviour, or learning more?

Personally, I vote strongly for keeping the behaviour; 3.0.0 is a major 
release, which allows potentially breaking changes, and fixing the "wrapping 
things" problem some other way.

Bug #16221: Passing undef as argument to classes & defines overrides default 
parameter
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16221#change-70888

Author: Erik Dalén
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee: eric sorenson
Category: 
Target version: 3.0.0
Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0-rc5
Keywords: parameter undef
Branch: 


In puppet 3.0.0-rc5 the default value is overridden if I pass undef as a 
parameter to a define or class.

    define bar ($param='Hello world') {

    define foo ($param=undef) {
      bar { 'bartest': param => $param }
    }
    foo { 'footest': }

In puppet 2.7.19 that outputs:
    notice: Scope(Bar[bartest]): Hello world
    
But in puppet 3.0.0-rc5 I get:
    Scope(Bar[test]):
