2015-09-14(MODULES-2516) Adds an is_a() functionDavid Schmitt
The data type system is very hard to understand. Many people don't understand why type_of([1,2,3]) == Array will fail, but type_of([1,2,3]) <= Array passes. This does a simpler validation that doesn't rely on explicit data types. Instead, use $foo = [1,2,3] if $foo.is_a(Array) { notify { 'This is an array': } } This is based on code by Ben Ford <ben.ford@puppetlabs.com>. * Added acceptance tests * Added dispatch * Improved unit tests * Added docs to README
2015-01-07(MODULES-1473) Deprecate type() function for new parserHunter Haugen
The `type()` function will cease to work on the new parser because 'type' is a reserved keyword. The `type3x()` function may be used to continue similar functionality, but will be deprecated in favor of the built-in typing system. The `type_of()` function has been included to introspect types in the new parser.
