Research direction

Start by tracing how the existing group_data/*.py files are discovered and applied. Compare that behavior with the proposed host_data/my-host.net.py naming, then determine how a host-specific file should be selected and applied without changing group behavior; the work is done when this behavior is implemented and verified for matching hosts.
