It's your toy, but I wanted to draw your attention to this very, very common "templating in yaml" bug

  world: "{result:hello:message}"
will always require quoting, because { is a special character in yaml. Contrast that with the GitHub Actions version of

  world: ${{result:hello:message}}
which doesn't require quoting because $ isn't a yaml special character. I don't have any insight about { versus {{ so I think you can pick your favorite but the leading character matters and it'd be better to fix that early in the tool's life than to suffer the Ansible outcome

Hi mdaniel,

thank you for pointing this out. I will look into it since validity of yaml is something I always fight with, no matter if its pure yaml standard, helm-type or ytt. I will add this to the todo/refactor list :)

Much appreciated!
