Jira (HI-233) Support array merge for automatic parameter lookup

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on HI-233   Re: Support array merge for automatic parameter lookup Still, you can from Puppet 4.0, annotate the type of a class parameter - e.g. class x(Hash[String, String] $y) { } Which clearly indicates that a Hash (with String keys and String values) is expected. It does not however say anything about how merging of the data to be injected should be done and that is IMO a property of the data (or the injection mechanism, via schema, encoding in the data, a smarter hiera backend, or whatever), not of the class parameter. The choice of "it is this hash x::y, or that hash x::y, or a merge of all of the hashes keyed x::y in my hierarchy" should be a decision made by the person authoring the data.
