+ newfunction(:validate_bool, :doc => <<-'ENDHEREDOC') do |args|
+ Validate all passed values are true or false. Abort catalog compilation if the
+ value does not pass the check.
+
+ Example:
+
+ These booleans validate
+
+ $iamtrue = true
+ validate_bool(true)
+ validate_bool(true, true, false, $iamtrue)
+
+ These strings do NOT validate and will abort catalog compilation
+
+ $some_array = [ true ]
+ validate_bool("false")
+ validate_bool("true")
+ validate_bool($some_array)
