Not so fast. Automatic data binding does remove any *need* for writing explicit hiera() calls (provided you are willing to structure your hiera keys in a suitable way), but the implication that you in fact *shouldn't*use explicit hiera() calls is not nearly so well established. Also, if you want the special hierarchy-transcending behavior of hiera_hash() or hiera_array() (which, admittedly, are not hiera() itself) then you can only get it via the appropriate function calls.
