   end
end

Where instances returns an array of objects created using new.

def self.instances
   some_list_of_things.collect do|obj|
     new({
      name: obj.name,
       ensure: :present,

Yeah. Come to think of it - that's so boilerplate-y...should we abstract 
from this? Can we? I'm thinking of a kind of provider DSL call that will 
take care of creating these methods, and/or make that very simple.

Thoughts?
