Description
See http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/b439cd34803ed5a1
We would support a data file for any given class, stored in the module, and this data file would get loaded automatically when a class was loaded.
This requires #2139 to be fully-functional, and definitely should support data files in multiple module directories.

Just throwing in somethig here that I added feature wise for my own data lookup tool.
Inside a data file I found I needed a way to reference variables that’s in scope at run time, for example.
I have data files for hosts, countries, locations etc, but I also need a fallback, example:
common.csv:resolver_search,%{domain}
or
common.csv:ntpservers,1.%{country}.pool.ntp.org,2.%{country}.pool.ntp.org,3.%{country}.pool.ntp.org
where $country and $domain are facts available at compile time.
Would be important if this external data sources has a similar ability

On further consideration, Luke says this does NOT require #2139 to be fully-functional.
