 * to catch typos, like 'var' for 'vars', playbooks and tasks now yell on invalid parameters
 * automatically load (directory_of_inventory_file)/group_vars/groupname and /host_vars/hostname in vars_files

 * hostvars now preserved between plays (regression in 0.5 from 0.4), useful for sharing vars in multinode configs
