Options considered

Option 1: Option 2: Option 3:

Description <modulename>_<fact_name> (single_underscore) <modulename>__<fact_name> (double underscore) <module_name>-<fact_name>

Pros and cons

Easy to understand

May run into issues if <modulename> corresponds to a fact with an underscore

Minimizes risk of conflicts with any system fact value

Kind of strange syntactically (but not incorrect)

VERY unlikely to conflict with anything

The hyphen is a non-idiomatic character for fact names

Facts using this can't be accessed in classic $::fact_name format

Facter and Puppet (via $facts[]) accept this syntax , but there may be weird edge cases or tools that don't
