Sandra Wills c172a289e4 light editing of variable precedence list wording
QA had asked me a while ago to clean up the way the precedence list for 1.x was worded,
as the intro from the list started with "then comes", as if something should preceed
it. The comments from OxABAB were not helpful themselves, but his issue reminded me that
this was on my to do list to make a little cleaner and clearer.  Edits made to remove the
"then comes" intros for each list line, to help with clarity.

Timothy Appnel fde7c14cd0 v1 variable precedence order was off.
Noticed that the v1 variable precedence docs list facts discovered as having a lower precedence than inventory variables. It is in reality the other way around. The v2 section gets this right.

Toshio Kuratomi 5e0d55ae5b Change the dict attribute collision warning to recommend using bracket notation 9 years ago
Robin Schneider ad0d299c56
Avoid key names which are valid attributes for data types in Python.
Closes #12990.

Alternative to #12992

This PR excludes all attributes of the following data types: lists,
tuples, dicts, sets, integers, floats, strings and Unicode objects.

It is expected that only the attributes of dicts and sets would cause an
problem like in #12990.

Sandra Wills 748ff72b6b fixed typo, depricated --> deprecated, in all 6 notes 9 years ago
Sandra Wills f24fbb04c9 note modified a bit, then reviewed/approved by jmartin
Ansible 2.0 has depricated the “ssh” from ansible_ssh_user,
ansible_ssh_host, and ansible_ssh_port to become ansible_user,
ansible_host, and ansible_port. If you are using a version of
Ansible prior to 2.0, you should continue using the older style
variables (ansible_ssh_*). These shorter variables are ignored,
without warning, in older versions of Ansible.

Sandra Wills 6af2b2a4cb added note about ansible_ssh_* change
added a note like the following to each file hit with unlabled 2.0 changes...
Ansible 2.0 moved away from using ansible_ssh_* variables to accepting
ansible_* variables. If you are using a version of Ansible prior to 2.0,
you should continue using the older style variables (ansible_ssh_*), such
as ansible_ssh_user instead of ansible_user and ansible_ssh_port instead of
ansible_port, which appear in the following content. These shorter variables
are ignored, without warning, in older versions of Ansible.

Björn Andersson 65e4f2b2bc Add filter to turn a string into a UUID
This filter was made because I needed to create idempotent UUIDs when
installing the agent for Go (http://go.cd), which uses UUIds to
distinguish the agents from each other.

It uses a newly created Ansible namespace to distinguish UUIDs created
by Ansible from any other source. The new namespace is a random one
created by uuidgen on OSX.
