Also see the catalog preview tool for diffing catalogs (when compiled under 3.x vs 4.x compilers).

Puppet should exit when comparing Number == String
Issue Type:
Bug
Affects Versions:
PUP 3.7.5

Recently (3.7.4 or 3.7.5) puppet stopped converting strings to numbers when comparing them with >,<,>=,<=, and == (possibly others).
For all but == Puppet gives a warning that a String is not comparable to a Number.
Puppet should do this for == also because otherwise comparisons such as: lsbmajdistrelease = "7" if ($::lsbmajdistrelease == 7) {} silently change their truth value from True to False.
This can cause all sorts fo breakage!
It would be better to abort compilation with a message and have the user explicitly convert from String to Number (or visa versa).
Thanks! Chad.
