there are two types of things here:

  sudoer{'NAME':
    ensure => (absent|present)
    type => (alias|spec) # required??
    alias => (User_alias|Runas_alias|Host_alias|Cmnd_alias),
    items => [] # this is only for aliases
    user_list => []
    host_list => []
    operator_list => []
    # NOPASSWD, PASSWD, NOEXEC, EXEC, SETENV and NOSETENV
    tag_list => []
    command_list => []
  }

  alias NAME - starts with CAP ([A-Z]([A-Z][0-9]_)*)

aliases, user specifications
   User_alias
   Runas_alias
   Host_alias
   Cmnd_alias

alias spec:

 Alias_Type NAME = item1, item2, item3 : NAME = item4, item5


order matters!!
