1.  Can this be done in PE 3.8?
2. Its not clear where the lookup_options need to go.   Does the 
lookup_options go in hiera.yaml?

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lookup_quick.html#setting-lookupoptions-in-data

lookup_options: ntp::servers: merge: native? (I don't need deep merge)

Very cool stuff, I did not know about this.   But this would be exactly 
what I want.
