Hi Matt,
Is your aim to avoid the duplication? If so, perhaps you could just use
simple composition, eg:
$defaults = {
'foo1' => 'bar',
#[...]
'foo99' => 'baz',
}
$h = $defaults + {
'foo100' => 'h',
}
$g = $defaults + {
'foo100' => 'g',
}
If you need more flexibility though, hiera might be the nicer way to
achieve it.
Cheers
Jesse
