Module option conversion to string
----------------------------------
Beginning in version 2.8, Ansible will warn if a module expects a string, but a non-string value is passed and automatically converted to a string. This highlights potential problems where, for example, a ``yes`` or ``true`` (parsed as truish boolean value) would be converted to the string ``'True'``, or where a version number ``1.10`` (parsed as float value) would be converted to ``'1.0'``. Such conversions can result in unexpected behavior depending on context.

Such conversions can result in unexpected behavior depending on context.
This behavior can be changed to be an error or to be ignored by setting the ``ANSIBLE_STRING_CONVERSION_ACTION`` environment variable, or by setting the ``string_conversion_action`` configuration in the ``defaults`` section of ``ansible.cfg``.
