I use group_by to set up some groups in a play, but it looks like this
doesn't automatically load anything i have in group_vars for those new
groups.  I suspect group_vars are getting picked up only at the beginning
of a play.

If you know the set of groups you're creating with group_by, you can add an
include_vars just after the grouping, which is how i'm working with things
for now.  How are other folks dealing with this?  I was at first thinking
it might be nice for group_by to implicitly load group_vars when it sets up
groups, but then realized this could break variable precedence.  Is it a
valid feature request, maybe one that could be configurable, or should I
look to work around things (via include_vars and/or by making sure anything
that needs group_vars exists in my inventory as opposed to trying to set it
up in group_by)?

thanks,
matt
