If someone has a " #" in a quoted var string, it
will interpret that as a comment and refuse to
load the inventory file due to an unbalanced
quote. Noisy failure > unexpected behavior.
This allows patterns such as webservers:!debian:&datacenter1 to target
hosts in the webservers group, that are not in the debian group, but are
in the datacenter1 group. It also parses patterns left to right.

Allow groups to be defined on a per-host basis
This makes it possible to define on a per-host basis what groups a host is in.
When managing a large set of systems it makes it easier to ensure each of the
systems is defined in a set of groups (e.g. production/qa/development,
linux/solaris/aix) rather than having to add systems to multiple disconnected
groups.
----
- host: system01
- host: system02
- host: system03
- group: linux
hosts:
- system01
- system02
- group: solaris
hosts:
- system03
- group: production
hosts:
- system01
- system03
- group: qa
- system02
- group: dbserver
hosts:
- system01
- group: ntpserver
hosts:
- system02
- group: webserver
- system03
----
Can be redefined as:
----
- host: system01
groups: [ linux, production, dbserver ]
- host: system02
groups: [ linux, qa, ntpserver ]
- host: system03
groups: [ solaris, production, webserver ]
----
See test/yaml_hosts for an example.
Hosts can be part of multiple groups.
Groups can also have variables, inherited by the hosts.
There is no variable scope, last variable seen wins.
