Pablo, I just tried to reproduce this in the issue you reported at
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13494
It looks like range("host01", "host99") works fine, returning [ "host01",
"host02", ..., "host98", "host99" ]
Is this what you're looking for, or is it an issue only if the leading
portion of the string is zero padded?
