I need to define data for roles so I add the 'role' dynamic data source.

- "%{::environment}/%{::clientcert}"
- "%{::clientcert}"
- "%{::environment}
- "%{::role}"
- common

Our site.pp uses a hostname regex to classify nodes into roles e.g.

node /^ns\d+$/ {
  include role::nameserver
}

Can we add the $role variable to the role class and hiera will use it? e.g. 

class role::nameserver { 
  $role = 'nameserver'
  include base
  include bind
  include shorewall
}

Would this work? Is there a better pattern that doesn't involve having to 
define custom facts on the servers?
