Having just spent the last day solid reading parsedfile, writing notes, and following it down the rabbithole I can't find myself arguing against this. I am planning to at least experiment with trying to a/ document this heavily b/ clean it up and make it easier and more usable because everyone hates it currently for a good reason. It won't be dramatically better because of the requirements of backwards compatibility, but we can at least tidy it up a little.
I just thought I'd mention https://github.com/adrienthebo/puppet-filemapperfor people who haven't seen it, Adrien has made a pretty awesome alternative to parsedfile.
