Variables are lazy loaded so :

vars:
  x: '{{ x + [1] }}'

will not work since the value of x is not known before you try to use
x creating a self referential loop.

But you can get around it with `set_fact` as we evaluate variables at
the time of module execution and set_fact is a module that sets a new
variable:

set_fact:
    x : '{{ x + [1] }}'

this defines a 'new x' that is the 'old x + [1]' (add a list with the
number 1 as an element, assumes x is already a list, you might use
|default([]) if you are not assured x was previously defined
