This would generally be a bad idea IMHO. If you put a File{} in site.pp, it
stops you from being able to put a File{} anywhere else, say in a module. If
you _do_ put a File{} in a module (which I do all the time), it disregards
the global File{} in site.pp. Same applies to any resource default.
That's unless of course puppet has a plusignment operator for resource types
that I wasn't aware of.
