Puppet users - Feb 2012 - limiting definition variable values

Hello,

Can you limit the values which might be passed to a definition? I
haven''t been able to find any examples and anything I''ve tried
based
on reading the docs has been fruitless. I''m creating some templates
for config files and certainly values are only allowed limited values.
like ipv4, ipv6, any, etc. I could always add a note saying "see
manpage for proper values" but I''m just trying to add some sanity
checks.

simple example:
class config (
     $protocol = "any" or "ipv4" or ipv6"
     ) { #pass to a template }

Darin
