Notify statements
`````````````````
Nearly all modules are written to be 'idempotent' and can signal when they have affected a change
on the remote system. If a notify statement is used, the named handler will be run against
each system where a change was effected, but NOT on systems where no change occurred. This happens
after all of the tasks are run. For example, if notifying Apache and potentially replacing lots of
configuration files, you could have Apache restart just once, at the end of a run. If you need
Apache restarted in the middle of a run, you could just make a task for it, no harm done. Notifiers
are optional.

Handlers
````````
Handlers are lists of tasks, not really any different from regular tasks, that are referenced
by name. Handlers are what notifiers notify. If nothing notifies a handler, it will not run.
Regardless of how many things notify a handler, it will run only once, after all of the tasks
complete in a particular play.

Includes

Not all tasks have to be listed directly in the main file. An include file can contain
a list of tasks (in YAML) as well, optionally passing extra variables into the file.

after all of the tasks are run. For example, if notifying Apache and potentially replacing lots of
configuration files, you could have Apache restart just once, at the end of a run. If you need
Apache restarted in the middle of a run, you could just make a task for it, no harm done. Notifiers
are optional.
Nearly all modules are written to be 'idempotent' and can signal when
they have affected a change on the remote system. If a notify
statement is used, the named handler will be run against each system
where a change was effected, but NOT on systems where no change
occurred. This happens after all of the tasks are run. For example,
if notifying Apache and potentially replacing lots of configuration
files, you could have Apache restart just once, at the end of a run.

Handlers
````````
Handlers are lists of tasks, not really any different from regular tasks, that are referenced
by name. Handlers are what notifiers notify. If nothing notifies a handler, it will not run.
Regardless of how many things notify a handler, it will run only once, after all of the tasks
complete in a particular play.

Includes
````````
Not all tasks have to be listed directly in the main file. An include file can contain
a list of tasks (in YAML) as well, optionally passing extra variables into the file.
Variables passed in can be deferenced like this (assume a variable named 'user')::

As you can see above, variables in include files work just like they do in the main file.
Including a variable in the name of a task is a contrived example, you could also
pass them to the action command line or use them inside a template file.
