[chef] Definition question

[Benjamin Bytheway < >]

In the documentation for definitions (http://docs.opscode.com/essentials_cookbook_definitions.html), I notice it says:

"resource notifications will not work normally when the resource to be notified is located in a definition"

I was curious why this is the case, since it looked to me by reading the code that definitions just loaded any defined resources into the resource_collection, just as the recipe DSL would do, which should mean notifications should work. 

I've done a test and a resource outside a definition notifying a resource inside a definition seems to work for me. A resource inside a definition also seems to be able to send notifications to resources outside the definition just fine.

Has the functionality changed so that the warning in the documentation is no longer valid, or am I missing a subtlety?
