The scenario is this: developer needs, in an emergency situation, to edit a file that is normally under puppet control (it's a conf file for our java servlet engine). I'm not around to help out, he may not have root.
I'd fully want/expect this to generate a puppet error, at least in my case, though this should be an option I'd imagine. Again, basically like 'unless' on the exec type...or 'onlyif' but with a negative check..
