* merge_variables: extended merge capabilities added This extension gives you more control over the variable merging process of the lookup plugin `merge_variables`. It closes the gap between Puppet's Hiera merging capabilities and the limitations of Ansible's default variable plugin `host_group_vars` regarding fragment-based value definition. You can now decide which merge strategy should be applied to dicts, lists, and other types. Furthermore, you can specify a merge strategy that should be applied in case of type conflicts. The default behavior of the plugin has been preserved so that it is fully backward-compatible with the already implemented state.
