# Returns the class with the given resource_name.
#
+ # NOTE: Chef::Resource.resource_matching_short_name(:package) returns
+ # Chef::Resource::Package, while on rhel the API call
+ # Chef::Resource.resource_for_node(:package, node) will return
+ # Chef::Resource::YumPackage -- which is probably what you really
+ # want. This API should most likely be removed or changed to call
+ # resource_for_node.

# ==== Parameters
# short_name<Symbol>:: short_name of the resource (ie :directory)
