I have a three-level hiera config: common, environment, node

I was under the impression I could define parts of an hash at each level and hiera would merge them.

ie. given this config:

common.yaml:
---
network:
    forward_ipv4: false
    gatewaydev: eth0

uat.yaml: (environment-level)
---
network:
    domainname: uat.example.com
    gateway: 192.168.65.1
    nameservers:
        - 192.168.65.116
        - 192.168.2.119

vm2.yaml: (node-level)
---
network:
    foo: bar

...I was expecting hiera('network') on node vm2 in environment uat to return:
network{
    forward_ipv4 => false,
    gatewaydev   => eth0,
    domainname   => uat.example.com,
    gateway      => 192.168.65.1,
    nameservers  => [192.168.65.116, 192.168.2.119],
    foo          => bar
}

Did I misunderstand what is supposed to happen?
