To me, the PSON stuff is a transport system. It should be completely
agnostic of what you put in your manifest. We should be able to put
binary data like this and Puppet should do what is necessary to
transport the data verbatim to the other end:
file {
"/tmp/binary": content => file("binary-file")
}
Note, we have the exact same issue with templates. We should be able to
transport templates verbatim independently of their encodings.
Now, we should be clear in the documentation (if that's not the case) if
we require double or single quoted string in manifests to be UTF-8 or
ascii only. Of course, it would be great if puppet could auto-detect the
manifests encoding :)
