Actually, I think a definition will work.
define file_with_base($base_dir) {
file {"$base_dir/$name":
...
}
}
file_with_base($bars:
base_dir => $base_dir
}
I didn't think about the $name coming from an array used when creating the
file_with_base definition. I was only thinking about the parameters
specified in the define, which probably comes from me continuing to think
of it like a function which is wrong.
