Title: Message Title

PUP-5925

Henrik Lindberg, sorry I wasn't clear. I will try to be precise here. I have this:

class test::foo ( String[1] $param1, Array[ String[1] ] $param2 ) { ... }

And I have this in the functions/data.pp function:

function test::data {

    test::foo::param1 => 'aaa',

    test::foo::param2 => [ 'aaa', 'bbb' ],

So, with this simple puppet code:

include '::test::foo'

the value of test::foo::param2 in the class will be [ 'aaa', 'bbb' ], this is why I have said that [ 'aaa', 'bbb' ] is "the default value provided by the data_provider". But this is probably not the correct _expression_, I admit it. And I was surprised that this value (I don't know the right _expression_ to define this value) was included in the merge of the lookup() function (where the merge parameter was 'unique').

But if I understand well, the fact that this value is included in the merge is really the expected behavior.
Is it correct?
