+# Fact: is_pe, pe_version, pe_major_version, pe_minor_version, pe_patch_version

+# Purpose: Return various facts about the PE state of the system
+#
+# Resolution: Uses a regex match against puppetversion to determine whether the
+#   machine has Puppet Enterprise installed, and what version (overall, major,
+#   minor, patch) is installed.
+#
+# Caveats:
