I would like the ability to, in the puppet language, check variables being 
passed to a class or define for validity.

This can currently be done by throwing a ParseError from a template, but that 
is quite syntactically heavy.

Current Case:

<pre>
define foo ( $bar ) {
  inline_template("<% if not ['true','false'].include?(bar) then raise 
Puppet::ParseError.new(\"$bar must be one of 'true', 'false'\")%>")
}
</pre>

Desired Case:

<pre>
define foo ( $bar, $baz ) {
  validate {
    bar => ['true','false'],
    baz => '/fancy regex'
  }
}
</pre>

Not critical, just would add some awesomeness.
