As per puppetlabs/puppet@292233c, this leaves the global seed in a
deterministic state, which is bad. Puppet::Util.deterministic_rand()
exists to avoid running into this issue, but is only present starting in
Puppet 3.2.0.
We need to use
unless value.is_a?(String) || value.is_a?(Array)
rather than
klass = value.class
unless [String, Array].include?(klass)
because the klass version enforces type checking which is too strict, and does
not allow us to accept objects wich have extended String (or Array).
For example, generate() function now returns Puppet::Util::Execution::ProcessOutput
which is just a very simple extension of String. While this in it's self was
not intentional (PUP-2306) it is not unreasonable to cope with objects which
extend Strings
