Consider the current ssh_authrized_keys state and puppet manifest below.

Puppet will sync the key options away, although the manifest doesn't mention them at all. 
That's because the 'options' property defaults to 'absent'.

This strikes me as unsound. There's two more sane ways I can imagine:
1. Forgo default values for all properties
2. Make default values special, so that properties use them only
when creating a new managed entity on the system 
(i.e. the resource is changed from absent to a present state).
