Note well: you do not need hiera_array() just because the data are in the
form of an array. The plain hiera() function will return an array if that
is in fact the type of the data. The hiera_array() function has
significantly different semantics, collecting data from all levels of the
hierarchy instead of from only the highest-priority level where the data
appear.

It looks ok to me, except as noted above.
It could also be done by parameterizing the class and relying on automated
data binding instead of an explicit lookup. Many people seem to prefer
that approach, but I don't find the advantages -- and there are one or two
-- to be particularly compelling.
