While that's certainly true, a couple of people might already rely on 
Intel::DOMAIN matching the complete domain.

Yep, I will just add corresponding scripts to the package.

In that case the framework should report both: The effective and the 
complete domain. However, using a separate type would be more flexible 
as users could decide case by case or even add both.

Given that the effective_domain function is already available as a 
package, I would vote for an additional package. In theory even the 
intel framework itself could be made a package.
