define-w-metaparams.pp

# This shows that:
# * metaparams like noop can be referenced as variables from inside a defined type.
# * Noop DOES act on every resource contained in a defined type, without having to do noop => $noop every time.
# * Noop does in fact keep notifies from properly firing. 
# * Likewise with things like before or require. They get propagated to every contained resource. 
# Also, you can do a per-resource override of single-value metaparameters like noop, but multi-value ones will merge the value from the container and the local value.
