I agree. I've ended up using node.run_state to pass state, but this is 
implicit and not a convention I've seen documented. Anyone using my the LWRP 
I've written will have to understand this before being able to use it to find 
the state information.

Andrea's suggestion seemed to provide a good solution, what are everyone's 
thoughts on it? If my ruby was stronger I'd try to hack together a pull 
request to get the ball rolling but, as it's not, would raising a bug report 
be a good starting point?
