    .SYNOPSIS

      Get the representation of a DSC Resource Property Type as a Puppet Resource API Data Type

    .DESCRIPTION

      This function provides a way of generating strongly typed Puppet Resource API attributes by

      introspecting a DSC Resource's properties to provide as much useful feedback to manifest

      authors at manifest-write time and catalog-compilation.

      It cannot currently discover the proper structure for most embedded instances, though the

      embedded instance schema for PSCredentials *has* been included.

    .PARAMETER DscResourceProperty

      The DscResourcePropertyInfo object which represents a single property for a given DSC resource.

    .EXAMPLE

      Get-PuppetDataTYpe -DscResourceProperty $DscResource.Properties[0]

      This will return a string representing the Puppet Data type that most closely equates to the

      PowerShell data type that this Property has.
