Hey, is there a way to sponsor you into looking into this :) having a way of creating deeper nested trees of groups would be amazing.

like

• key: x
• key: xx parent_group: x
• key xxx parent_group: xx
• key: yyy parent_group: xx

could generate:

@all: | --@x1: | |--@xx1: | | |--@xxx1: | | | |--hostxxx1 | | | |--hostxxx2 | | |--@yyy1: | | | |--hostyyy1 | | | |--hostyyy2 | |--@xx2: | | |--@xxx2: | | | |--hostxxx3 | | | |--hostxxx4 | | |--@yyy2: | | | |--hostyyy3 | | | |--hostyyy4 | --@x2: | |--@xx3: | | |--@xxx3: | | | |--hostxxx5 | | | |--hostxxx6 | | |--@yyy3: | | | |--hostyyy5 | | | |--hostyyy6
