(I.e. it is not consistent enough in its conversions). The ansible change does not seem very useful to me. It seems aimed at people who aren't already familiar with this from programming in common languages. I'd rather they worked out how to generate warnings when `groups.my-group` or even `groups.mygroup` is used. As noted in the last linked comment, Ansible's *EC2 inventory* uses group names with hyphens in them. The same is true of ansible-examples: ansible/ansible-examples#253
