The end goal is, for example, installing a large list of packages. The

(something like: promise_repaired => {"installed_$(this.promiser)"} )
After that I would like to know what servers needed what software
installed, so I'd like reporting on what was done. Instead of blindly
listing all possible classes in the reports section I would like to wild
card this somehow *and* output what specific class it matched so that I
know what happened.
something like:
reports:
installed_(.*):: # put the .* in $1
"$1 was installed"; # $1 would interpolate to "somerpm"
Which would be much more elegant then having a reports section that
looks like this:
reports:
installed_somerpm::
"installed installed_somerpm";
installed_someotherrpm::
"installed someotherrpm";
installed_foo::
"etc...";
installed_etc::
"etc etc etc";
<imagine another 100 lines here...>
