This would be great! It would certainly avoid collisions... Eg. two

Yep, that's the goal. I've seen interest managing database with puppet
device, and a common module could provide a standard pattern for these type
of usages.

It's probably too experimental at this point for me to send PR against
stdlib.

The one mistake in my original email was it was searching by resource by
name instead of reference, so perhaps it's as simple as fixing:
defaultto 'Transport[couch]' # or maybe defaultto "Transport['couch']"
If that's not the issue, then I'm not sure. I'll try to put together the
transport module when I get some spare time.
