When you use the hiera() function, you ate by definition not doing automatic
param lookup. :-) whatever you put in for the first argument is the key that
will be looked up via hiera verbatim. If you leave the class parameter without
a default and instantiate it without a value, puppet will prefix the name of
the class to the param name with double colons and use that as the lookup key
in hiera.
