Does attempting the use of dynamically scoped variables still lead to warnings? 
I was under the impression that since 3.0 it just won't work.

I don't think such a warning can be reliably generated, for the same reason 
that dynamic scoping did not work predictably (which is why it was finally 
removed). So I'm fine with the lack of a warning either way.

Summary:

Steps to Reproduce: 

I've created a github repo with a simple module that shows off the issue. 
Basically its just creating a dynamic lookup variable in a template though, 
nothing special.

Expected Results:

The variable should return undef which is what the manifests return.

Actual Results:

The variable returns the value that is assigned.

Notes:
Both agent and master are puppet 3.2.2
