missing_ok and multiple augments in 3.12.0

At SURFsara we use CFEngine on our National Compute Cluster (LISA) and other systems as our configuration management tool. With the release of CFEngine 3.12 I want to highlight 2 new features, namely: missing_ok multiple augments We use these 2 new features heavily in our framework in combination with my open source library cf_surfsara_lib. This library aims to be a central repository for configuring services, eg: ssh. For configuring the services we use JSON as data format and it is easily to override the default values via JSON.
