Hi,
  I'm currently trying to write a Puppet 4, EPP, version of
https://forge.puppet.com/deanwilson/multitemplate but I'm having an
issue with the dispatch rules I'd like to use.

In order to support multiple template file names, and provide values
for the templates, I think I want something like this (but with a
better Pattern):

  dispatch :template_data do
    scope_param
    repeated_param 'String', :templates
    param 'Hash[Pattern[/^\w+$/], Any]', :parameters
  end

But that's not allowed as repeated patterns have to be the last thing
(excluding blocks.) I know in modern rubies you can have a 'splat' in
the middle and unpack the first and last params so I was wondering if
it'd be considered for puppet function dispatch too.

I can currently get around this with a call like
multi_epp_template(['file', 'file2'], { }) but that extra bit of array
syntax feels unwieldy.

In general the puppet 4 function dispatch stuff has been quite nice to
work with, so congrats on that.

  Dean
