Issue #1858 has been updated by Andrew Parker.

This is in conflict with #19315, which wants hashes in the name position to 
have a different meaning.

Feature #1858: Add resources based on a Hash
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1858#change-94672

----------------------------------------
Create resources from a Hash, in fact the syntax for a resource looks like a 
Ruby Hash already. The idea is to use it in conjuntion with external_nodes or 
with functions which return hashes.

I'll explain it with an en example. 

With this external_nodes yaml
<pre>
parameters:
  symlinks:
    /tmp/one:
       ensure: target1
    /tmp/two:
       ensure: target2
classes:
- foo_class
</pre>

and a this manifest:
<pre>
file {$symlinks:}
</pre>

Puppet should create two file resources /tmp/one and /tmp/two.

This feature allows the creation of simple resources, like a list of users or 
cron jobs, outside puppet.
