Puppet users - Nov 2012 - Can I create virtual resources with create_resources function

I am trying to add ability to add virtual users to 
the git://github.com/erwbgy/puppet-system.git module as I really want the 
ability to use virtual users and then combine that with "User <| group
==
''x'' and group == ''y'' |>" way of
realizing the users. This is much more
flexible than what I can do with this module out of the box.

Using the pattern in that module, I tried to do this:

class system::virt_users (
  $config = undef
) {
  if $config {
    $defaults = {
      ensure => ''present'',
      managehome => true,
      shell  => ''/bin/bash''
    }
    create_resources(@user, $config, $defaults)
  }
}


But that gives me syntax error:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Syntax error at ''@''; expected '')'' at 
/etc/puppet/modules/system/manifests/virt_users.pp:10 on node ......

So I tried putting @user in quotes but that also generated syntax error 
(could not create resource of unknown type @user).

So is there a create_virtual_resource function or some other trick to do 
this?

Thanks,

Rajul

I''ve run into same exact problem yesterday, and found patch that Nan

What I am interested in is when can we expect Puppet 3.1.0? If someone
