I would very much like to be able to type facts using the puppet type

to do the full compilation with a full set of values.
This also opens up for the possibility to do real type inference. This
is not possible when facts are in essence untyped.
This seems orthogonal to an agent-side facter config; you're talking
about a Type "signature" of what the returned structure of a fact should
look like, right?
Yes like in "the fact 'foo' is an Integer" - preferably expressed in
terms of the Puppet Type System.
