perhaps a better way to summarize this issue is this:define httpd::mod ( $ensure = 'enabled', $instance = 'default', $module = $title, $package = undef, ) { } This definition of httpd::mod's interface is static. it's a static map (Hash). If we pass any additional parameters it'll blow up, and rightfully so. What I wanted with this:define httpd::mod ( $ensure = 'enabled', $instance = 'default', $module = $title, $package = undef, $* # all others ) {(or whatever the syntax) was a dynamic interface. A way to programmatically define that map.
The issue here is that we cannot have a user defined type that has a different set of parameters for different instances (which would be the case here since different instantiations can create instances with very different sets of parameters). The only way to do this is to define the last parameter as a Hash, and pass the additional parameters as such.
You can use the type system to check the validity of the content of the hash (when using the future parser).
