Very nice! But I'm wondering about the section on "Reserved Variable Names" that says that reusing fact names as variables in a local scope may cause malfunctions. This is something I've done quite a lot without any problem, is it considered unsupported and might break in future versions? The only issue is of course that you hide the fact in the local scope so you get for example $::ipaddress and $ipaddress with different values.
But with a defined type that has a ipaddress parameter it doesn't really make much sense to name it anything else. And besides you can never know what facts a system might have installed.
