Hello,

We're trying to come up with a nice way to indicate when a Puppet
module like cloud provisioner breaks a Puppet subcommand because of
missing dependencies.

When this happens in the current 3.0rc branch, all help for all
subcommands is unavailable.  This isn't very helpful.

We're planning to simply mark the subcommands that have incomplete
actions as unavailable.  Here's a mock up of what we're thinking:

https://gist.github.com/3014923

Do you think the message, "check STDERR" in each of the node,
node_aws, and node_vmware subcommands is adequate?

The autoloader will catch and log the loading errors to STDERRO before
the help page is actually finished formatting, so the actual reason
the face failed to load will be presented before the formatted help
output.

Any feedback you have on making puppet help more helpful would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Jeff
