Description

Use Case

Functions support Local Type Aliases.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

It's be great if puppet-strings would document these and with links to the generated documentation from the function dispatches that use them

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

Normal type aliases are not synced to agents and prevent calls to a function from being deferred.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Puppet language specification section on Local Type Aliases and trace how puppet-strings documents function dispatches. Determine how generated documentation should represent these aliases and link them from dispatches that use them; done means the generated documentation includes both the aliases and working links.
