Hello is there a way to organize group vars in sub-directories? Strictly for readability purposes, when you have an Ansible project with a large number of group vars files it becomes very inconvenient to manage all of them under a single directory.

Currently:  
Hosts file:  
[a]  
a-host  
[b]  
b-host

[c]  
c-host  
[d]  
d-host

Current Group Vars Directory:  
/group\_vars  
a-host.yml  
b-host.yml  
c-host.yml  
d-host.yml

Desired Group Vars Directory Structure:

/group\_vars  
e/

a-host.yml  
b-host.yml  
c-host.yml  
f/

d-host.yml
