Hi Bryan, I'm sorry to hear about this as I have a lot of interest in this particular topic.
So, I have a Native Concat (with the latest version here: https://github.com/simp/pupmod-simp-concat) and Richard Clamp wrote Datacat (https://github.com/richardc/puppet-datacat) which took a similar, but different approach. I apologize if I missed it, but is there a document that I can hit regarding the development of this new capability? It would be great if we could argue the three approaches so that the needs that we had when we developed our versions are met in the Puppet Labs supported version. I'm 100% behind tossing my code if someone else is going to do the heavy lifting but it needs to meet my requirements to be able to integrate it successfully.
