Given this code:

{code:ruby}
    Puppet::Type.newtype(:rcsrepo) do
      desc 'A local version control repository'
      ensurable
      ...
    end
{code}

I see this behavior.

{noformat}
    [root@master ~]# puppet describe --list | grep rcsrepo
    rcsrepo         - .. no documentation ..
    [root@master ~]# puppet describe rcsrepo

    rcsrepo
    =======
    A local version control repository
{noformat}

If I add a period at the end, `puppet describe --list` outputs as expected.

See [https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/application/describe.rb#L73](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/application/describe.rb#L73)

Why is this?
