Issue #5259 has been updated by J.D. Welch.

Status changed from Re-opened to Needs Decision

That you're still paying attention :)

The change in status was to gauge if an issue was still relevant to consider 
for work planning. I've since learned that's not the way we use Redmine here. 
So back to what it was.
----------------------------------------
Bug #5259: Synonyms (title, namevar, name) make it confusing.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5259#change-73063

Author: Jordan Sissel
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: J.D. Welch
Category: 
Target version: 3.x
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: consistency usability
Branch: 


* If you're querying a resource, it's Someresource <| title == ... |>
* If you're writing a provider, it's called a 'namevar'
* If you're implementing a custom define, it's called $name.

This is confusing and could benefit from unification, even if it's a small step 
such as unifying $name and title.
