Thanks for point 2, much appreciated. Is the 'global' validate
option documented anywhere?
on point 1, using the 'ensurable' magic means I don't have anywhere
to stick the defaultto keyword (I tried
ensurable do
defaultto 'present'
end
but didn't seem to do the trick (blows up with a
"change from present to present failed: The rabbitmq_user provider can not
handle attribute ensure" . Am I out of luck without an
explicit newparam{} block to work in?
