New Feature: role_var_prefix Option
This PR adds a new configuration option called
role_var_prefix.It allows us to tweak role variable's prefix pattern with regular expression. Common use cases include prefix role variable with collection name.
The default value is
"^_*{role}_", which should be fully compatible with the previous implementation, where we should always prefix role variables with role name with further prefixing with underscore (_) being allowed.If someone could review the concept and implementation and allow this PR to be merged, that would be great.
