Neither parser allows them in that position. But once they are allowed it is not really any problem. Would be good to be able to construct them in some way as well though, as in https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9450 But at the moment we have a couple of functions in stdlib where the only difference is that one of them treats the string argument as a regexp and the other as a string. That feels a bit wrong IMO. -- Erik Dalén -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
