So since we have a very simple way to list local files (with_fileglob) it
makes sense that we probably just have a fileglob module for use of
register that lists the files in a given directory
- fileglob: path=/etc/foo/*.d
register: files
- shell: foo {{ item.0 }} and {{ item.1 }}
with_nested:
- files
- other_things
etc
