Jira (PUP-2017) TupleType applies size constraint to last element only

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg created an issue   Puppet / PUP-2017 TupleType applies size constraint to last element only Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Andy Parker Components: DSL Created: 21/Mar/14 7:37 AM Fix Versions: 3.5.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Henrik Lindberg The TupleType allows a size constraint to be made. This was implemented as constraining the last type in the tuple (with the idea that this would be the most common use-case). In practice however, it is far more valuable to let the size constraint apply to the given types as this gives the opportunity to make types in the tuple optional (i.e. not present as opposed to being undef). Proposed change will make these three matches true: $t = Tuple[Integer, Integer, String, 1,3] [1, 2, hello] =~ $t [1, 2] =~ $t [1] =~ $t This is currently not possible to express since the size only applies to the last entry (the String in the example above). This is important to get into 3.5.0 since it changes the semantics of the Tuple type.
