Feature #4715: Extending defines

Hey devs,

I have a define like this:

define rvm::install() {

   $rvminstaller = "/home/$name/rvminstall"

   file { $rvminstaller:
      ensure => present,
      mode => 755,
      source => "puppet:///rvm/rvminstall",
   }   

   exec { $rvminstaller:
      cwd => "/home/$name",
      creates => "/home/$name/.rvm",
      user => $name,
   }   
}

Now I would like to write another define, that does almost exactly the same, 
but chooses a different source for the file.
Currently I would need to copy and paste the define and change the source.

If I could inherit the define, this would be way easier:

define myrvm::install() inherits rvm::install
{
   File[$rvminstaller] {
      source => "puppet:///myrvm/rvminstall",
   }
}

Would be handy to see this or another easy variant with code reuse in a future 
version.

Cheers,

Nico
