| About the name |
| -------------- |
| "reclass" stands for **r**\ ecursive **e**\ xternal node **class**\ ifier, |
| which is somewhat of a misnomer. I chose the name very early on, based on the |
| recursive nature of the data merging. However, to the user, a better paradigm |
| would be "hierarchical", as s/he does not and should not care too much about |
| the implementation internals. By the time that I realised this, unfortunately, |
| `Hiera`_ (Puppet-specific) had already occupied this prefix. Oh well. Once you |
| start using |reclass|, you'll think recursively as well as hierarchically at |
| the same time. It's really quite simple. |
