# @summary
#   Boolean check to determine whether a variable is of a given data type.
#   This is equivalent to the `=~` type checks.
#
# @example Example Usage:
#   # check a data type
#     foo = 3
#     $bar = [1,2,3]
#     $baz = 'A string!'
#
#     if $foo.is_a(Integer) {
#       notify  { 'foo!': }
#     }
#     if $bar.is_a(Array) {
#       notify { 'bar!': }
#     }
#     if $baz.is_a(String) {
#       notify { 'baz!': }
#     }
#
# See the documentation for "The Puppet Type System" for more information about types.
# See the `assert_type()` function for flexible ways to assert the type of a value.
#

  # @param value
  #   The value to be checked
  #
  # @param type
  #   The expected type
  #
  # @return [Boolean]
  #   Return's `true` or `false`.
