The request in the ticket is related but might not solve the same problem.
What I think I'm looking for is the generic ability to specify an array of
hashes as a resource title and have Puppet handle it intelligently (that is,
produce a locally scoped hash split from the array and easily accessible
inside the resource specification as well as knowing what value it should
use for $name or supporting e.g. $alias => hash[key] for specifying the
appropriate value). The reason I think that's preferable to the ability to
transform a hash to a resource is because it will work everywhere. What I
don't know is whether the hash -> resource transform can be made to declare
an instance of a define(). If so, it would handle my needs quite well. If
OTOH it will only declare native resource types then it won't do all of what
I'm looking for. It would be a step in the right direction though.
