I can speak directly on this ! You want http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/stdlib/3.2.0
This has the /etc/facter/facts.d/* Magic Pixie Dust in it. I just went thru a brief panic attack when I updated to Facter 1.7 and puppetlabs-stdlib 4.0.2 ! The changelog says "Remove facter_dot_d for compatibility with external facts” and I had to do some rapid searching and verifying that stuff put into /etc/facter/facts.d/* still worked. Short answer: They do ! As far as details on stdlib, here you go: https://puppetlabs.com/blog/module-of-the-week-puppetlabsstdlib-puppet-labs-standard-library/ https://puppetlabs.com/blog/module-of-the-week-puppetlabs-stdlib-puppet-labs-standard-library-part-2/ https://puppetlabs.com/blog/module-of-the-week-puppetlabsstdlib-puppetlabs-standard-library-part-3/ I find it very useful. Hope you do as well.
