 notes:
   - This module supports check mode.
   - When using 'with_*' loops be aware that if you do not set a unique mark the block will be overwritten on each iteration.
   - As of Ansible 2.3, the I(dest) option has been changed to I(path) as default, but I(dest) still works as well.
-  - Option I(follow) has been removed in version 2.5, because this module modifies the contents of the file so I(follow=no) doesn't make sense.
