Subject: associating lists of variables with files

Given a set of similar files, and a list of different variables to be
associated with each, how does one then construct a generalised set of 'file:'
edits, so that the variables for fileA are associated with fileA (etc).
Something like:
=========
bundle my_bundle {
vars:
"fileA" string => "/path/to/fileA";
"fileB" string => "/path/to/fileB";
"all_files" slist => { "$(fileA)", "$(fileB)" };
"vars_for_fileA" slist => { "A1", "A2", "A3" };
"vars_for_fileB" slist => { "B1", "B2" };
files:
"$(all_files)"
...
edit_line => my_edit("???");
}
bundle edit_line my_edit(varlist_for_fileX)
{
}
=========
So when "fileA" is being edited, the argument into "my_edit" should be
"@(my_bundle.vars_for_fileA)", etc.
I get the feeling this should be well within scope for cfengine, but I cannot
see how to achieve it.
