Playbooks must be valid YAML, so, quotes are needed since you cannot
_start_ a YAML string with a curly brace '{' character, because that
character is used to define YAML dictionaries. If you were to use the
var in the middle of a string though you would not need to use quotes.
For example, the following syntax is correct:
welcome_message: Hello {{ name }}
