That is as good a reason as any I can think of: advance planning.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, And while the command line tools and looking at the code are as accurate
as ever, it would be nice to find that info on the type page as well.

Hi Ellison,
You can do `puppet decribe ` from the command line and it should tell
you which attribute is the namevar for that type. Most types use 'name'
for their namevar, but some (like file) do not. Hope that helps!

So I was looking at the type reference, and noticed that for a lot of the
types, no namevar was listed. When I checked the types in the code, for
each of those omissions, the namevar was simply "name". Now, it might be
self evident that this is the case, but a little documentation couldn't
hurt
