I'm confused, because this is what I want to be saying, as this example
from augtool demonstrates:

augtool> set /files/etc/logrotate.d/sympa/rule/file /var/log/sympa/*.log
augtool> set /files/etc/logrotate.d/sympa/rule/rotate 3
augtool> set /files/etc/logrotate.d/sympa/rule/schedule weekly
augtool> save
augtool> quit
# cat /etc/logrotate.d/sympa
/var/log/sympa/*.log {
                     rotate 3
                     weekly
}

If I ditch the context, then I need to write each change as longhand,
like so:

augeas {
       "logrotate_sympa:
         changes => [
         "set /files/etc/logrotate.d/sympa/rule/file
       /var/log/sympa/*.log",
         "set /files/etc/logrotate.d/sympa/rule/rotate 3",
         "set /files/etc/logrotate.d/sympa/rule/schedule weekly"
         ]
}

Unless I misunderstand the point of the context?
