Jira (PUP-509) Specify the Puppet Language query mechanism

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on PUP-509   Re: Specify the Puppet Language query mechanism Throwing in some more ideas query { <query_expr> } could be used to construct a query (as opposed to the mroe cryptic <? ?> or other spaceship operators. We need to make query a keyword though. We can implement the current collectors with functions instead (to possibly get rid of spaceships): realize_exported(a_type, a_query) realize_virtual(a_type, a_query) And if we want to retain the override abilities those functions take an optional hash of overrides. The only thing that is lost is static checking of attribute names against the type, that check would then be made at runtime instead of at parse/validation time.
