How to access host vars from within a connection plugin

[tim5]

An arbitrary host var can be set in my hostfiles/inventory file:

[www]
myserver.blah.com ansible_connection=MY_NEW_CONNECTION someVar1=abc

Now… in plugins/connection_plugins/MY_NEW_CONNECTION.py…
how do i access someVar1?

I’m looking at the ssh.py example and i see an init function, but i traced
out all those incoming vars and dont see it.

Thank you.
