Description
It would be very useful to be able to test values and use logical operators in Puppet – particularly as an enhancement of conditionals. For example:
if $variable = "value" { action }
if $variable != "value" { action }
if $variable = "value" AND $variable2 = "value2" { action }
if $variable = "value" OR $variable2 = "value2" { action }
etc…
There are obviously other potential uses but the extension of the if/else capability would be very useful.

I’d accept this patch (although not with the capital AND and OR, and I’d expect ‘==’ as the comparison operator, rather than ‘=’).

Yes – that was my crude operator examples – I’d use the default Ruby operators I suspect, i.e. ==.

Also the if/else/unless construct might be useful.
