the use case Alan shows is what I had in mind too, pre modules we were able to
easily create utility file copiers:
<pre>
define myfile(....) {
file{$name:
source => ["puppet:///files/${name}.${fqdn}", "puppet:///files/${name}"]
}
}
myfile{["/etc/foo", "/etc/bar"]: }
</pre>
which would take some predefined search order and just fetch it from the single
big file server. Now with module we cant do that, we need to somehow know
which module to fetch the files from, having modulename to be the caller would
make it great. since we can get back to something that simple

Feature #1545: The module name should be available as a variable
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1545
Author: Felix Schäfer
Status: Ready for Testing
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Luke Kanies
Category: newfeature
Target version: 2.6
Affected version: 0.25.1
Keywords:
Branch: luke/tickets/master/1545-module_name_as_variable
It's been discussed before in #1104, but I can't find a ticket for that, so I
suppose there isn't one as of now.
Anyway, it would be nice to know which module some definition is being called
from, this would save me some Common_definition { module => module1, } at the
beginning of module1.
