Puppet::Parser::Functions::newfunction(
  :each,
  :type => :rvalue,
  :arity => -3,
  :doc => <<-DOC
Applies a parameterized block to each element in a sequence of selected entries from the first
argument and returns the first argument.

This function takes two mandatory arguments: the first should be an Array or a Hash or something that is
of enumerable type (integer, Integer range, or String), and the second
a parameterized block as produced by the puppet syntax:

      $a.each |$x| { ... }
      each($a) |$x| { ... }

When the first argument is an Array (or of enumerable type other than Hash), the parameterized block
should define one or two block parameters.
For each application of the block, the next element from the array is selected, and it is passed to
the block if the block has one parameter. If the block has two parameters, the first is the elements
index, and the second the value. The index starts from 0.

      $a.each |$index, $value| { ... }
      each($a) |$index, $value| { ... }

When the first argument is a Hash, the parameterized block should define one or two parameters.
When one parameter is defined, the iteration is performed with each entry as an array of `[key, value]`,
and when two parameters are defined the iteration is performed with key and value.

      $a.each |$entry|       { ..."key ${$entry[0]}, value ${$entry[1]}" }
      $a.each |$key, $value| { ..."key ${key}, value ${value}" }

Example using each:

      [1,2,3].each |$val| { ... }                       # 1, 2, 3
      [5,6,7].each |$index, $val| { ... }               # (0, 5), (1, 6), (2, 7)
      {a=>1, b=>2, c=>3}].each |$val| { ... }           # ['a', 1], ['b', 2], ['c', 3]
      {a=>1, b=>2, c=>3}.each |$key, $val| { ... }      # ('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)
      Integer[ 10, 20 ].each |$index, $value| { ... }   # (0, 10), (1, 11) ...
      "hello".each |$char| { ... }                      # 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'
      3.each |$number| { ... }                          # 0, 1, 2
