I just realized, while doing some other hiera work with a custom HTTP
backend, that this won't work. It's the same problem I have with the way
scoping works for the HTTP backend. If I don't specify the lookup() key in
the manifest with a scope, then puppet ONLY uses GLOBAL and ENVIRONMENT
scope and ignores module scope. This seems undesired. In that manner, I
would have to have my filenames (in the case of file backend) or URIs (as
is the case with HTTP backend) contain module scoping in the lookup, so my
filename would become lookup('somemodule::somefile.txt") which would THEN
have to actually exist in that lookup...
I would expect Puppet to use module scope when a lookup is performed within
the module if scope is not specified for this lookup.
