    good points -- i agree with @aledsage about discouraging this type of reference
    
    i think what we want to support is:
    
    * `items: [ URL, ... ]` where `URL` points at another `brooklyn.catalog` format YAML
    * `item: URL` where `URL` points at an item YAML (non-catalog-format)
    
    all other things should be deprecated?
    
    (fixing the test will probably happen for free fixing the other test)
    
    i will add an explicit test where it is a template and a note that the other format is deprecated (its behaviour is different so i will leave it)
