Puppet users - Aug 2008 - multiple functions in one file?

Hi there,
just to be sure:

http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions says 
that "The file name is derived from the name of the function that Puppet 
is trying to run."

Is this still true?

I ask because I currently write a set of math functions (min,max, plus, 
minus and so). My first try was to create a math.rb, where I had:

module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:min, :type => :rvalue) do |args|
    ....
end
newfunction(:max, :type => :rvalue) do |args|
    ....
end
....and so on...
end

This of course did not work, so I split the whole thing up in multiple: 
min.rb, max.rb, .... files.

This works now quite well. Nevertheless it would be somewhat nicer to 
have these functions in one file.
Is this possible? If yes how? If not, never mind the question.

Have fun,
udo.

Well, you could put them all into one file, and immediately use the  
function that that file is named after.  This will load all of the  
functions in the file, so when you go to use the other functions,  
they''ll be available.

Note that this is more hack than feature, though, so don''t be  
surprised if its behaviour changes a bit over time.
