	This patch is the same approach as the one that want into 2.2.x. It covers the functions in 2.3.x that do not exist in 2.2.x. Without this patch all of the spec tests for parser functions in stdlib would instantiate their own scope instances. This is a problem because the standard library is tightly coupled with the internal behavior of Puppet. Tight coupling like this creates failures when we change the internal behavior of Puppet. This is exactly what happened recently when we changed the method signature for the initializer of Puppet::Parser::Scope instances. This patch fixes the problem by creating scope instances using the puppet labs spec helper. The specific method that provides scope instances in Puppet-version-independent way is something like this: let(:scope) { PuppetlabsSpec::PuppetInternals.scope } This patch simply implements this across the board.
2012-03-07	(#12357) Add ability to display an error message from validate_re	Jeff McCune
	I've seen a number of times the following error displayed to the end user: validate_re(): "" does not match "^true$\|^false$" at /p/t/f.pp:40 This is an absolutely horrific error message. I'm to blame for it. Users stumble over this quite often and they shouldn't have to go read the code to sort out what's happening. This patch makes an effort to fix the problem by adding a third, optional, argument to validate_re(). This third argument will be the message thrown back in the exception which will be displayed to the end user. This sets the stage for nicer error messages coming from modules we write. This patch is backwards compatible but is a new feature.
