I dont think so - for general function calls to be usable you want to get the
value and then do some conditional logic on it. or put it in a variable and
use it in another resource etc.
That is not what this is for, this is a based placeholder to later be replaced
by the value - you cannot do any conditionals etc with it.
Imagine something like:
mysql::user{"bob":
password => Deferred(vault_lookup, "bob_pass")
}
(I am just making this syntax up, this is presumably not how it will look)
Here its fine because its a simple interpolation into a value, you cant do more
complex things with this design.
Anyway thats my understanding, Henrik might chime in too
