Another use case for setting host-specific variables on the command line is when you use ansible to launch a cluster job with specific parameters for each host, and you want to do a parameter sweep by wrapping ansible in a bash script that calculates and sets the host-specific parameter values for each loop.
Currently it looks like the only way to do this is to have the bash script indirectly set host-specific parameter settings by writing a group_vars/<hostname> file for each <hostname> with the correct parameter settings before using ansible to launch the job on the cluster.
