Is this currently possible?

There can only be 1 `with_` per task, but the 2nd part is a lookup (with_<lookup plugin>), which you can stack in other ways.

with_items:

  - "{{lookup('sequence', ...)}}"

lookup('sequence', ....) looks very handy for something I need to implement

that is a really ugly currently (include + with_flattened +
loop_control + loop_var).

Is the use of that documented anywhere?
