I have a couple of situations where there are informal sections in a 
configuration file that are delimited by comments, and I'd like to update 
these with Ansible. Is there a module for this?

For example, the file some.cfg looks like this:

# this is the some.cfg file
var1=1
var2=2

# some section start
svar1=1
svar2=2
# some section end

var3=3

I want to be able to replace the variables delimited by "some section 
start" and "some section end". This is complicated by the fact that the 
delimiters are created ad-hoc by application developers, so there's no 
consistent syntax.

I can't assemble the file from components because users can take actions 
that cause the file to change, so there's no master copy.
