Title: Message Title

Owen Rodabaugh updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-6964 Puppet 4.x functions should be available to all modules not just those that declare the containing module as a dependency Change By: Owen Rodabaugh CS Priority: Needs Priority Normal CS Impact: Users writing modules can run into this and end up thrashing around trying to understand why it's not working. Anything that makes writing modules more accessible/less confusing to users is a good thing. Given that the initial attempts at this included a significant performance impact, perhaps there is a middle ground of having a flag that tells puppet whether to rely on the dependencies entry in metadata.json or instead go for "slow mode", perhaps as a new metadata.json entry, where it scans the environment for functions.
