Description

A thread on the mailing list (http://mail.madstop.com/pipermail/puppet-users/2007-March/002027.html) has brought up a specific way in which variables defined in the prototype, including the definition name, can be late-binding enough that they can be used for default values in definition prototypes. This would be a good idea, and would only add functionality without changing expected behaviour.

If this is done, it should be done in such a way that all variables in the definitions are late-binding, so that the variables are defined in the order in which they appear in the prototype.

Markus, can you clarify the state of this in relation to the futures work? This isn’t the main bug is it?
