Description
Use Case
Currently all types are defined in the top-level namespace, making it quite inconvenient and dangerous to define new types with too generic names.
Describe the Solution You Would Like
Following puppet classes and defines, native types should be able to be named in the same way, following the module::group::name pattern.
Additional Context
This is blocked by issues in core puppet supporting this: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-2968

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Puppet core issue PUP-2968, since this request is blocked by namespace support there. No files or tests are named in this issue; done would mean native types can use the module::group::name pattern without the current top-level-only limitation.
