Hi!

I stumbled onto the following.

While this works:

- hosts: all

  roles:
    - { role: foo, data: 'bar' }
    - { role: foo, data: 'zab' }


this will fail right away with "value of 'roles:' must be a list":

- hosts: all
  vars:
    my_data:
      - { role: foo, data: 'bar' }
      - { role: foo, data: 'zab' }

  roles: my_data


So it makes a difference if the list of roles is provided verbatim or 
assigned to a variable first. This is especially surprising as this pattern 
works well with e.g. "with_items" where the list being looped can be either 
verbatim or a variable.

Is this an intended limitation or a bug?

Why do I need this? I want to load the variable from another file using 
"include_vars".

Cheers,
Henning
