Hey there,

I've started working with / deploying a definition for managing iptables via 
templates. Is there a 'better' way to deal with default values? Here is a piece 
of what I'm working on..

define iptablesBase(fragment = nil, dba_frag = nil) {

    case $fragment {
        nil: {
            $content = ''
        }
        default: {
            $content = template($fragment)
        }
    }

    case $dba_frag {
        nil: {
            $dba_access = ''
        }
        default: {
            $dba_access = template($dba_frag)
        }
    }
...

Is there a 'better' way to deal with default values? For instance, if I don't 
want to define 'dba_frag', if I didn't have a case or if statement to evaluate 
$dba_frag, then I would receive an error due to template evaluating 'nil'. Not 
sure if that makes sense, but I figured I would throw it out there.
