Issue #3955 has been updated by Luke Kanies.

Note that it won't be a separate syntax - I looked into that, and it didn't 
make sense because it would only be a valid rvalue for files, which is silly.

Instead it'll be a URL type for 'source'.

Bug #3955: Should have a seperate syntax for specifying file content by checksum
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3955

Author: Markus Roberts
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Luke Kanies
Category: 
Target version: queued
Affected version: development
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Rather than passing around the contents of a file (e.g. in logs) we use the 
checksum; to support this the users is also allowed to _specify_ the contents 
as a checksum, but this leads to an ambiguity when the actual contents match 
the checksum pattern.

Instead of trying to do magic, we should have distinct syntax for referring to 
the contents by checksum (which should _always_ expect a valid checksum) and 
for specifying the contents literally (which shouldn't do anything different if 
the contents happen to resemble a checksum).
