Ok, I am honored to open CHEF-651. Didn't mean to make it a "major"
priority, but there you go.


On a related but different note: We could incorporate some shell
script syntax in the File resource -- for scripts that output exactly
one file:

file "/etc/hosts" do
  execute "make_hosts.rb"
   # maybe it looks in /files/default/make_hosts.rb?
   # maybe the STDOUT of make_hosts.rb becomes /etc/hosts?
   # but not if the script is unhappy?
end

Just thinking out loud.
