If more than one parameter make sense for a namevar, then you can use composite namevars, by using `isnamevar` for sevaral parameters and adding a `self.title_patterns` method to define how to parse the title and feed the namevar parameters.
See https://github.com/hercules-team/augeasproviders_postgresql/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/pg_hba.rb for an example.
