   :type => :rvalue,
   :arity => -1,
   :doc => <<~DOC
     Creates a new instance/object of a given data type.
-    
+
     This function makes it possible to create new instances of
     concrete data types. If a block is given it is called with the
     just created instance as an argument.
-    
+
     Calling this function is equivalent to directly
     calling the data type:
-    
+
     **Example:** `new` and calling type directly are equivalent
-    
+
     ```puppet
     $a = Integer.new("42")
     $b = Integer("42")
     ```
-    
+
     These would both convert the string `"42"` to the decimal value `42`.
-    
+
     **Example:** arguments by position or by name
-    
+
     ```puppet
     $a = Integer.new("42", 8)
     $b = Integer({from => "42", radix => 8})
     ```
-    
+
     This would convert the octal (radix 8) number `"42"` in string form
     to the decimal value `34`.
-    
+
     The new function supports two ways of giving the arguments:
-    
+
     * by name (using a hash with property to value mapping)
     * by position (as regular arguments)
-    
+
     Note that it is not possible to create new instances of
     some abstract data types (for example `Variant`). The data type `Optional[T]` is an
     exception as it will create an instance of `T` or `undef` if the
     value to convert is `undef`.
-    
+
     The arguments that can be given is determined by the data type.
-    
+
     > An assertion is always made that the produced value complies with the given type constraints.
-    
+
     **Example:** data type constraints are checked
-    
+
     ```puppet
     Integer[0].new("-100")
     ```
-    
+
     Would fail with an assertion error (since value is less than 0).
-    
+
     The following sections show the arguments and conversion rules
     per data type built into the Puppet Type System.
-    
+
     ### Conversion to Optional[T] and NotUndef[T]
-    
+
     Conversion to these data types is the same as a conversion to the type argument `T`.
     In the case of `Optional[T]` it is accepted that the argument to convert may be `undef`.
     It is however not acceptable to give other arguments (than `undef`) that cannot be
     converted to `T`.
-    
+
     ### Conversion to Integer
-    
+
     A new `Integer` can be created from `Integer`, `Float`, `Boolean`, and `String` values.
     For conversion from `String` it is possible to specify the radix (base).
-    
+
     ```puppet
     type Radix = Variant[Default, Integer[2,2], Integer[8,8], Integer[10,10], Integer[16,16]]
-    
+
     function Integer.new(
       String $value,
       Radix $radix = 10,
       Boolean $abs = false
     )
-    
+
     function Integer.new(
       Variant[Numeric, Boolean] $value,
       Boolean $abs = false
     )
     ```
-    
+
     * When converting from `String` the default radix is 10.
     * If radix is not specified an attempt is made to detect the radix from the start of the string:
       * `0b` or `0B` is taken as radix 2.

     ```
-    
+
     ### Conversion to Float
-    
+
     A new `Float` can be created from `Integer`, `Float`, `Boolean`, and `String` values.
     For conversion from `String` both float and integer formats are supported.
-    
+
     ```puppet
     function Float.new(
       Variant[Numeric, Boolean, String] $value,
       Boolean $abs = true
     )
     ```
-    
+
     * For an integer, the floating point fraction of `.0` is added to the value.
     * A `Boolean` `true` is converted to 1.0, and a `false` to 0.0
     * In `String` format, integer prefixes for hex and binary are understood (but not octal since
       floating point in string format may start with a '0').
     * When `abs` is set to `true`, the result will be an absolute floating point value.
-    
+
     ### Conversion to Numeric
-    
+
     A new `Integer` or `Float` can be created from `Integer`, `Float`, `Boolean` and
     `String` values.
-    
+
     ```puppet
     function Numeric.new(
       Variant[Numeric, Boolean, String] $value,
       Boolean $abs = true
     )
     ```
-    
+
     * If the value has a decimal period, or if given in scientific notation
       (e/E), the result is a `Float`, otherwise the value is an `Integer`. The
       conversion from `String` always uses a radix based on the prefix of the string.
     * Conversion from `Boolean` results in 0 for `false` and 1 for `true`.
     * When `abs` is set to `true`, the result will be an absolute `Float`or `Integer` value.

     ### Conversion to Timespan
-    
+
     A new `Timespan` can be created from `Integer`, `Float`, `String`, and `Hash` values. Several variants of the constructor are provided.
-    
+
     #### Timespan from seconds
-    
+
     When a Float is used, the decimal part represents fractions of a second.
-    
+
     ```puppet
     function Timespan.new(
       Variant[Float, Integer] $value

     All values may overflow and/or be negative. The internal 128-bit nano-second integer is calculated as:
-    
+
     ```
     (((((days * 24 + hours) * 60 + minutes) * 60 + seconds) * 1000 + milliseconds) * 1000 + microseconds) * 1000 + nanoseconds

+
     The first argument is parsed using the format optionally passed as a string or array of strings. When an array is used, an attempt
     will be made to parse the string using the first entry and then with each entry in succession until parsing succeeds. If the second
     argument is omitted, an array of default formats will be used.
-

     A third optional timezone argument can be provided. The first argument will then be parsed as if it represents a local time in that
     timezone. The timezone can be any timezone that is recognized when using the '%z' or '%Z' formats, or the word 'current', in which
     case the current timezone of the evaluating process will be used. The timezone argument is case insensitive.

     ### Conversion to Type
-    
+
     A new `Type` can be create from its `String` representation.
-    
+
     **Example:** Creating a type from a string
-    
+
     ```puppet
     $t = Type.new('Integer[10]')
     ```
-    
+
     ### Conversion to String
-    
+
     Conversion to `String` is the most comprehensive conversion as there are many
     use cases where a string representation is wanted. The defaults for the many options
     have been chosen with care to be the most basic "value in textual form" representation.
     The more advanced forms of formatting are intended to enable writing special purposes formatting
     functions in the Puppet language.
-    
+
     A new string can be created from all other data types. The process is performed in
     several steps - first the data type of the given value is inferred, then the resulting data type
     is used to find the most significant format specified for that data type. And finally,
     the found format is used to convert the given value.
-    
+
     The mapping from data type to format is referred to as the *format map*. This map
     allows different formatting depending on type.
-    
+
     **Example:** Positive Integers in Hexadecimal prefixed with '0x', negative in Decimal
-    
+
     ```puppet
     $format_map = {
       Integer[default, 0] => "%d",
@@ -506,25 +506,25 @@ Puppet::Parser::Functions::newfunction(
     String("-1", $format_map)  # produces '-1'
     String("10", $format_map)  # produces '0xa'
     ```
-    
+
     A format is specified on the form:
-    
+
     ```
     %[Flags][Width][.Precision]Format
     ```
-    
+
     `Width` is the number of characters into which the value should be fitted. This allocated space is
     padded if value is shorter. By default it is space padded, and the flag `0` will cause padding with `0`
     for numerical formats.
-    
+
     `Precision` is the number of fractional digits to show for floating point, and the maximum characters
     included in a string format.
-    
+
     Note that all data type supports the formats `s` and `p` with the meaning "default string representation" and
     "default programmatic string representation" (which for example means that a String is quoted in 'p' format).

     * Integer 0 is `false`, all other integer values are `true`
     * Strings

       * `false` if 'false', 'no', 'n' (case independent compare)
     * Boolean is already boolean and is simply returned
-    
+
     ### Conversion to Array and Tuple
-    
+
     When given a single value as argument:
-    
+
     * A non empty `Hash` is converted to an array matching `Array[Tuple[Any,Any], 1]`.
     * An empty `Hash` becomes an empty array.
     * An `Array` is simply returned.
     * An `Iterable[T]` is turned into an array of `T` instances.
     * A `Binary` is converted to an `Array[Integer[0,255]]` of byte values
-    
-    
+
+
     When given a second Boolean argument:
-    
+
     * if `true`, a value that is not already an array is returned as a one element array.
     * if `false`, (the default), converts the first argument as shown above.
-    
+
     **Example:** Ensuring value is an array
-    
+
     ```puppet
     $arr = Array($value, true)
     ```
-    
+
     Conversion to a `Tuple` works exactly as conversion to an `Array`, only that the constructed array is
     asserted against the given tuple type.
-    
+
     ### Conversion to Hash and Struct
-    
+
     Accepts a single value as argument:
-    
+
     * An empty `Array` becomes an empty `Hash`
     * An `Array` matching `Array[Tuple[Any,Any], 1]` is converted to a hash where each tuple describes a key/value entry
     * An `Array` with an even number of entries is interpreted as `[key1, val1, key2, val2, ...]`
     * An `Iterable` is turned into an `Array` and then converted to hash as per the array rules
     * A `Hash` is simply returned
-    
+
     Alternatively, a tree can be constructed by giving two values; an array of tuples on the form `[path, value]`
     (where the `path` is the path from the root of a tree, and `value` the value at that position in the tree), and
     either the option `'tree'` (do not convert arrays to hashes except the top level), or
     `'hash_tree'` (convert all arrays to hashes).
-    
+
     The tree/hash_tree forms of Hash creation are suited for transforming the result of an iteration
     using `tree_each` and subsequent filtering or mapping.
-    
+
     **Example:** Mapping a hash tree
-    
+
     Mapping an arbitrary structure in a way that keeps the structure, but where some values are replaced
     can be done by using the `tree_each` function, mapping, and then constructing a new Hash from the result:
-

     # A hash tree with 'water' at different locations
     $h = { a => { b => { x => 'water'}}, b => { y => 'water'} }

     Creating an instance of a `Type` using the `Init` type.
     -------
-    
+
     The type `Init[T]` describes a value that can be used when instantiating a type. When used as the first argument in a call to `new`, it
     will dispatch the call to its contained type and optionally augment the parameter list with additional arguments.
-    
+
     **Example:** Creating an instance of Integer using Init[Integer]
-    
+
     ```puppet
     # The following declaration
     $x = Init[Integer].new('128')
     # is exactly the same as
