This file is generated from the puppet-module build command and should
not be included in the repository.  If it is, the repository is not
directly usable on a Puppet master because the metadata.json is invalid.

This isn't directly related to #8010, but rather indirectly fills the
need to allow the end user to configure where data values are looked up.

This allows the namespace to be passed as a class parameter.  A module
may then quickly and easily look up data from the user-defined
namespace.

* ticket/master/8010_getvar_function:
  (#8010) Add getvar() rvalue function

This function validates all passed variables are hashes.  This is
similar to the validate_bool function and is copied from it.

These tests run through a number of example cases and exercise the
behavior of the validate_hash function.

To run, simple execute rspec validate_hash_spec.rb

* ticket/master/8010_validate_hash_function:
  (#8010) Add validate_hash spec tests
  (#8010) Add validate_hash function

The README now provides quick examples of how to take advantage of the
getvar() and validate_hash() functions included in this release of the
stdlib.
