Title: Adds explicit support for scientific

This seems like recurring theme I keep pull requesting. Do you think it would be a more extensible pattern to say

``` ruby
thing = value_for_platform_family( ["rhel"] => [ "stuff" ], [ "debian"] => [ "stuff" ] )

thing ||= value_for_platform( ["exciting_platform"] => [ "exciting-stuff"] )
```

?
