It actually HAS to work this way, since module inclusion could be (and often
is) determined by values of other facts.
Let's say you have
node foo {
include pony
}
which defines a custom fact 'i_has_a_pony'.
class pony {
if($i_has_a_pony) {
include saddle
}
}
if the 'saddle' module has custom facts of it's own, you'd need to have
those values available at that exact moment -- you can't do another pass of
gathering facts.
So therefore ANY custom facts for ALL module must ALWAYS be generated, hence
the need to use ':confine' when that's not possible.
