Bug #16618: puppet allows numeric variable names that can not be used
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16618#change-73037

Author: R.I. Pienaar
Status: Duplicate
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0-rc8
Keywords: 
Branch: 


The code:

<pre>

$foo = "bar"

if $foo =~ /(bar)/ {
    notice($1)
}

$2 = "foo"
notice($2)
</pre>

Produces:

<pre>
notice: Scope(Class[main]): bar
notice: Scope(Class[main]): 
</pre>

This is obviously because $1 $2 etc are special regex match variables.  So I 
think the 2nd case of attempting to assign a value to such a variable should be 
a compile error.
