Literal works when there is only one literal percent sign; last I checked,
you cannot use it twice in the same value. You can use "%%{::}{::hostname}"
to return "%{::hostname}" - the middle "%{::}" returns nothing and splits
the first percent from the variable name at the end, preventing
interpolation there.
The use of the two semi colons was to avoid a scoping issue that cropped up
as a regression around the puppet 4.3 timeframe that "%%{}{::hostname}"
would run into. It is possible this has been fixed by now and the
naked semi colons in the braces are optional, but I have not tested this
with the latest version of puppet myself.
