The simplest and most straightforward alternative I can think of is simply
to reposition your classes. What I mean by that is instead of using a
params class to set Puppet-level default parameter values, make the target
class a wrapper that handles parameter defaults and adjustments, and passes
them off to a private, internal class. Truly, the internal class part is
optional, but it provides for a separation of concerns, and maps more
cleanly onto your example.
Thanks much John for your excellent reply! Between your suggestions
and Henrik's, I have a much clearer picture of how I can modernize and
hopefully simplify several of our home-grown modules and classes. The
time you took to read and reply is greatly appreciated.
