Feature #22359: Would like a command line utility to determine if Puppet 
manages a file on the system and what code portion manages it.

----------------------------------------
I was using the yum 'whatrequires' command and realized that it would be great 
if Puppet had a similar command for files on the system.

Something like:

puppet whatmanages <resource_type> <target>

Example:

puppet whatmanages file /etc/hosts

Expected Return Value (human readable):

File: /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp Line: 106
File: /etc/puppet/modules/foo/manifests/init.pp Line: 5

Should also have the ability to return JSON.

This would be a 'best effort' utility since delving through Execs would be 
almost impossible.

It may also require an additional metaparameter to allow types to indicate 
their system modifiable targets in a consistent manner.
