Hi,

This is a suggestion on removing the need for writing multiple variations of the same logic when validating a schema.

I've used the traffic_manager_profile as an example of what the functions can replace.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi @pmcatominey! This looks like a good idea to me. We're gearing up to release so I don't want to merge this immediately beforehand, I'd like to get at least one run of acceptance testing on it. We'll circle back around to this soon though.

ok, let's get this merged now :) We have time between now and 0.7.6 to see if there are any issues we need to work out

@pmcatominey can you keep an eye on the nightly tests for AzureRM? https://travis-ci.org/hashicorp/terraform/builds
