[Puppet Users] Variable Scoping: What do you want?

Hi all,

Given the number of threads on variable scoping recently, it''s pretty
clear we need to change how it works.  Markus has a lot of this redone
in his futures branch, and I''m asking him to fully describe what the
results will be when that''s merged, but my guess is that there are
different expectations for what people want to see.

So, my question is, what behaviour changes would you like to see in
how variable scoping works?  How would you like the edge cases that
are currently hurting you to behave?
