I've found a potential issue, but I'm not sure if this is within the scope of
function_available or not.
The vagrant basebox I'm using actually does ship with puppet-hiera, but there's
no /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
Thus, even though function_available('hiera') returns true, the function isn't
actually usable:
Hiera config file /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml not readable at
/tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-0/staging/manifests/init.pp:31 on node
centos-6-vagrant.vagrantup.com
Is there a way to check whether the function is actually usable as well?
