Are you sure about that, Ramin? I've been around Puppet since well before
v2.7, and to the best of my knowledge, Class{'someclass':} (with capital
'C') is and always has been syntactically invalid. I'm prepared to learn
something new today, but you'll need to point me to some docs to support
your assertion.
Myself, I'm inclined to guess that it's a simple typo, that an ordinary
resource-style class declaration (with lowercase 'c') is what was intended.

I don't think it's the chain operators that have Salty confused. He says
he's ok with a previous line that also uses one. I'd be confused, too, if
someone demonstrated that example code to compile successfully.
