So I'm revisiting puppet's management of nagios now that 0.25.1 is out
and I want to say thanks for the updates to all the nagios types.

However, there is one huge, gaping hole that's been asked about before
in 2 different threads but that's never been addressed: object
inheritance.  For it to work, it requires the object being inherited
from to have a "name" variable set, otherwise it doesn't work at all.

As it stands, there's no ability to set that "name" variable.  You can
set the "host_name" or "contact_name", etc, but you can't set just a
"name" variable.  For reference, this is what I'm talking about:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html

Any way this can be added to puppet?  It's really a show-stopper since
inheritance is key to having a more easily managed nagios install.

Cheers,
Scott
