Structured facts were a forward-looking feature in Puppet 3.6, not enabled
by default. When they are not enabled, Puppet squashes all fact values to
strings. You must configure both the agent and the master to support
structured facts, by setting the stringify_facts configuration option to
false. The docs discuss this
<https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3.6/reference/config_important_settings.html#recommended-and-safe>,
but they don't say much more than the above.
