If you specify the levels of your data hierarchy in the conventional way --
from most specific to least -- then the hiera() function should do what you
want automatically.  Do not use hiera_array() or hiera_hash() for this
purpose, as those are specifically intended for collecting values declared
at all levels of your hierarchy.
