+  newfunction(:delete, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-DOC
+    Deletes all instances of a given element from an array, substring from a
+    string, or key from a hash.
+
+    *Examples:*
+
+        delete(['a','b','c','b'], 'b')
+        Would return: ['a','c']
+
+        delete({'a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3}, 'b')
+        Would return: {'a'=>1,'c'=>3}
+
+        delete({'a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3}, ['b','c'])
+        Would return: {'a'=>1}
+
+        delete('abracadabra', 'bra')
+        Would return: 'acada'
+
+    Note that from Puppet 4.0.0 the minus (-) operator deletes values from arrays and keys from a hash:
+
+        ['a', 'b', 'c', 'b'] - 'b'
+        # would return ['a', 'c']
 
-*Examples:*
+        {'a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3} - ['b','c'])
+        # would return {'a' => '1'}
 
-    delete(['a','b','c','b'], 'b')
-    Would return: ['a','c']
+    A global delete from a string can be performed with the regsubst() function:
 
-    delete({'a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3}, 'b')
-    Would return: {'a'=>1,'c'=>3}
+        'abracadabra'.regsubst(/bra/, '', 'G')
+        # would return 'acada'
 
-    delete({'a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3}, ['b','c'])
-    Would return: {'a'=>1}
+    In general, the filter() function can filter out entries from arrays and hashes based on keys and/or values.
 
-    delete('abracadabra', 'bra')
-    Would return: 'acada'
