Poli, that doesn't really solve the problem since the variable values could still come from many places. (Puppet also does some of that lookup automatically, although not as deep.)

Yes, though my primary goal is simply to reduce unnecessary duplication. A single added configurable template parameter currently ends up being in three places even before bringing in hiera, which is
pretty bad.

This whole thing was brought about by my writing parameterized classes for some of our internal custom services that have dozens of options in their config templates, and the manifest file is just
a sea of parameter names.

I think I'm just going to start putting defaults in the class declaration param list unless they explicitly
require logic to compute, in which case they'll come from the params.

This looks really cool! Thanks for the reference.
