          - Return an error, print a warning or ignore it when a key will be overwritten.
          - The default behavior C(error) makes the plugin fail when a key would be overwritten.
          - When C(warn) and C(ignore) are used, note that it is important to know that the variables
            are sorted by name before being merged. Keys for later variables in this order will overwrite
            keys of the same name for variables earlier in this order. To avoid potential confusion,
            better use I(override=error) whenever possible.
