-Puppet::Type.newtype(:anchor) do
-  desc <<-'ENDOFDESC'
-  A simple resource type intended to be used as an anchor in a composite class.
-
-  In Puppet 2.6, when a class declares another class, the resources in the
-  interior class are not contained by the exterior class. This interacts badly
-  with the pattern of composing complex modules from smaller classes, as it
-  makes it impossible for end users to specify order relationships between the
-  exterior class and other modules.
-
-  The anchor type lets you work around this. By sandwiching any interior
-  classes between two no-op resources that _are_ contained by the exterior
-  class, you can ensure that all resources in the module are contained.
-
-      class ntp {
-        # These classes will have the correct order relationship with each
-        # other. However, without anchors, they won't have any order
-        # relationship to Class['ntp'].
-        class { 'ntp::package': }
-        -> class { 'ntp::config': }
-        -> class { 'ntp::service': }
-
-        # These two resources "anchor" the composed classes within the ntp
-        # class.
-        anchor { 'ntp::begin': } -> Class['ntp::package']
-        Class['ntp::service']    -> anchor { 'ntp::end': }
-      }
-
-  This allows the end user of the ntp module to establish require and before
-  relationships with Class['ntp']:
-
-      class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': }
-      class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': }
-
-  ENDOFDESC
-
-  newparam :name do
-    desc "The name of the anchor resource."
-  end
