            A problem with the 4.x Ruby function API was fixed. A function with a dispatch accepting zero arguments always selected the first possible dispatch irrespective of how many arguments were given in a call.

            Description

            A Puppet function that is written in Ruby and has a dispatch that takes zero arguments will get a parameter tuple with no contents and no size. This means that the tuple is assignable from all other tuples which in turn means that the dispatch is chosen, no matter what actual parameters that was passed in the call.
