No, Puppet has no such feature *per se*, but I don't see what advantage you
hope it would provide, relative to simply declaring the contents of the
class body directly at the same point.
Moreover, if you're inclined to declare a class in the same manifest in
which you define it -- which runs counter to the prevailing views on good
style -- I don't see how being able to merge those into a single statement
would provide more than the most trivial advantage. You would save
yourself literally *one word* of code by not repeating the class name.
