Yea, since I don't actually run evaluation at this point I only need a manifest to parse.
I am using this in my project: http://github.com/logicminds/puppet-retrospec if you are curious. I am thinking I may need to hot swap parser versions during manifest inspection in order to produce the same output for future parser code. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I will have a look at the catalog preview tool which I assume is useful for comparing 4.x catalogs with 3.x catalogs.
