That is a good way of thinking of explaining it in the context of Ansible -- start Jinja, stop Jinja. At the same time, how would you have represented this in a Jinja template? Jinja doesn't allow for nested mustaches in any context that I am aware of.
I'm sure a patch to the docs to make light of this would be appreciated.
