Proposal (to be discussed) for allowing function that USE context

[kwisatz]

This is related to https://monitoring-portal.org/index.php?thread/38672-trouble-figuring-out-variables-macros-in-apply-rules-with-puppet/&postID=239378#post239378 but in no way meant to be a final PR, but rather something to base an actual solution on.

This regex allows to have parameters of the form

param => 'function (var) use (context) { expression }' 

where only var will be further parsed by the expression parser in utils.rb.

Side-question: How does one run a single spec?

I've tried

~$ bundle exec rake spec spec/defines/object_spec.rb

but that will still run ALL of the specs.

Sorry, didn't close this by intention!

OK, I found a case (very early already) where the regex above is not working. I will try feeding this info into the corresponding ticket on dev.icinga.com. In case the function body contains an operator (e.g. +), the first regex matches and not the new one I was naively suggesting.

This e.g. is an example that does not work:

name                      => 'function () use (vhost) { "check-http-" + vhost }',

name = function () use ("vhost) { "check-http-"" + "vhost }"

I cannot re-open the PR anymore since it's marked as "Merged" now that I changed the base. Can you create a new PR pleas? Sorry for the trouble
