So it would appear the parameter 'name' acts as namevar for file and
exec at least ... its not defined in the type for these explicitly -
it seems implicit. This seems historical and I haven't seen it used
before (at least I've never used it myself). Does anyone know the
history behind this?

The following:

    @key_attribute_parameters ||= (
      params = @parameters.find_all { |param|
        param.isnamevar? or param.name == :name
      }
    )

Is defined in puppet/type.rb :-). Not sure if we have this behavior
documented - or if its up for deprecation :-).

ken.
