Now that you mention it, yeah, I think we used to use Chef::Resource as the scope for recipe code but now it runs in its own thang so you might well have a point :)

The block you pass to a resource is evaluated through instance_eval on the resource object, so the context depends on whether you're inside that block or not.

I think the biggest pain point is doing something like `File.exist?("/path/thing.ext")` inside a not_if/only_if block, and I believe that's still affected.
