Here are a few other items passed along to me:

* There's no way to make strings stop trying to add it's own default class
parameters. $::foo::params::bar isn't a very useful default besides to say
"g look at the code".

* There wasn't a current way to document inline code and some of the YARD
parameters don't map well to Puppet code.

* Rendering legacy RDoc works, but renders dumb html instead of the current
puppet doc output which hurts when documenting class parameters.

I think that there are bugs reported out there for most of this but I ran
strings this morning and ran into most of them still.

Thanks,

Trevor
