No, I think you are onto something. For external modules it wouldn't
be a good idea. But interestingly enough, before reading this I sort
of came to the same conclusion.

so glad to see that it is already a pattern. :)
I'll update my comment to reflect your notes here.
Regarding
You can't create any fact that is going to allow you to set the path
like so "/temp/somedirectory" and use it across both windows and
*nix. Or can you?

$::systemdrive is empty on non-windows nodes, so "${::systemdrive}/tmp"
would "always" be a "valid" path.
My developer soul just died a little bit saying that.
