Well, this runs up against the blurry boundary between the docs and the 
ticket tracker. Obviously I'm not writing every outstanding bug into the 
language reference, but it IS meant to be a record of everything we know 
about the Puppet language as she is actually played, so there are a few 
bugs like this that deserve a mention in it (along with a big fat DON'T DO 
THIS sign). 

For the time being, I'm putting notes by a few things saying that they're 
considered bugs and may be removed without a deprecation period. My 
approach may change a bit over time?
