Bug Fix
Release Notes Summary:
The command {{puppet resource}} could output information about resources that could not be directly used in a puppet manifest due to errors related to quoting and escaped characters. This has now been cleaned up.

When using Thomas Hallgren rich-data-wip branch PCore resources are output with incorrect top level quoting:

$ puppet resource xe_ietf_ospf

xe_ietf_ospf { '100':

  routing_instance => 'Vanilla_ice::Ospf::Routing_instance({ #<-This value should not be quoted

  'name' => 'default',

  'description' => 'default-vrf [read-only]',

  'routing_protocols' => Vanilla_ice::Ospf::Routing_protocols({

...

Thomas Hallgren's best guess is "Resource #to_s just quotes everything that it doesn't recognize in single qoutes"

This prevents users from directly copying the output of a PCore resource into a manifest.
