Gotchas

Config is read from the first of: $ANSIBLE_CONFIG, ./ansible.cfg (ignored in a world-writable directory), ~/.ansible.cfg, /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg. Only one file is used; ANSIBLE_* env vars override it.
A misspelled key is silently ignored: dump --only-changed shows what really took effect.
