metadata.rb does not accept symbol as an attribute type

Details

Description

It is possible to create attributes such as:

default[:foo][:bar] = :baz

However when you try to describe these attributes as type symbol in the metadata.rb, the server throws an error when trying to generate the metadata.

http://gist.github.com/468160 is a proposed solution.

Thanks for the patch Gavin! This is merged to master. One note, I did have to add some tests for the patch. If you have any questions about writing tests for Chef in the future, you can ask in irc.freenode.net#chef-hacking (I'm kallistec, and Adam is holloway) or on the chef-dev mailing list.

Thanks again!
