I am currently implementing the "hiera-http" custom backend written by 
crayfishx located: "https://github.com/crayfishx/hiera-http";.

I have some custom classes that need to run through an iteration of hiera 
hashes and perform lookups on the values of said hashes.  As a result, I 
would simply like to be able to have lookup('somestring') work from within 
a module.  When doing this, lookup fails to use the module-specific 
hiera.yaml.  I don't want ALL of my modules to use hiera-http as that is 
clearly overkill and prone to latency and longer puppet runs.  The only 
workaround at the moment is to lookup("mymodule::somestring") which then 
properly uses the module hiera.yaml and looks up the value in the 
module-specific YAML.   

As you can imagine, having an HTTP URI that contains "mymodule::somestring" 
is not exactly clean, nor desired.  Is there a way to specify the scope for 
lookup to force it to use the proper hiera.yaml ?
