Truth be told, I never thought people would use augeas directly through
the augeas type; I always thought augeas would be used to write puppet
types in ruby more easily. For more complicated abstractions, that's
what you might have to resort to - of course, there's nothing wrong with
using hte augeas type directly for the cases where it is adequate.

Cool - did I miss the patches flying by ? ;)
