----------------------------------------
It would be helpful for `puppet describe` output to indicate which provider(s)
(if any) are available on the local platform. This suggestion is consensus of
the Extending Puppet using Ruby Training: Boston.
Here's what puppet 3.1.0 on Fedora 18 lists for the user type.
$ puppet describe user | tail -4
Providers
---------
aix, directoryservice, hpuxuseradd, ldap, pw, user_role_add, useradd,
windows_adsi
A mock of what output that marks available providers might look like:
Providers (* indicates local availability)
---------
aix,
directoryservice,
hpuxuseradd,
ldap,
pw,
user_role_add
useradd[*],
windows_adsi
