As I understand this plugin, it enables access to a container running on
the host executing Ansible. I can't figure out a way to use it as it is
for now to do the same for containers on a different (remote) host. The
PR I pointed earlier looked like a way to do it.
Talking on the IRC channel teached me that connection chaining may need
a complete redesign of connection plugins and I understand this can
increase the maintenance costs. This is why I prefer do ask first. It
may not be the best way to adress this use case (configuration of a
container system on a remote host with Ansible playbooks) but it looks
like there is no other straightforward way.

A LXC connection plugin was added about a year ago:

Hello developers,
I'm sad I can't use my favorites roles & playbooks to configure my LXC
containers on a remote host as the lxc_container module shows only
"container_command" to use shell commands.
Could we talk about a PR
(https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/9427)
that intended to add a connection backend to manage remote LXC
containers but has been abandoned by its author. There were some
hesitations at this time about the merge of a feature that basically
adds connection chaining/hopping to Ansible.
Can we discuss the principle of such a feature before trying to
implement it against Ansible v2.x?
