For example, if a file_content is called with a content containing ${releasever} (for a rpm repo URL), the class prefix won't be correctly defined.

In file_content.cf:

vars:
   # this variable keeps previous value is report_param constains an expression looking like an non-expanded variable
   "full_class_prefix" string => canonify("file_lines_present_${report_param}");

reports:
  pass2.!pass3::
    "full_class_prefix = ${full_class_prefix} (editing ${path})";

This will lead to re-using the full class prefix of the previous call to method and lead to incorrect reporting.
