I found this in the documentation: "$settings::<name of setting> — Provided by the puppet master; exposes all of the master’s configuration settings as variables in the settings namespace. Note that other than $environment, the agent’s settings aren’t available in manifests. Added in Puppet 2.6.0." I guess this means it is a very bad idea to have a class or module named "settings" as access to variables in that namespace would clash. Is there some list somewhere of reserved namespaces? (I want to help a user in Geppetto and warn/flag errors for constructs that will not work).
