    # The following three functions are used to programatically define data
    # descriptors (aka properties) for the Attributes of all of the playbook
    # objects (tasks, blocks, plays, etc).
    #
    # The function signature is a little strange because of how we define
    # them.  We use partial to give each method the name of the Attribute that
    # it is for.  Since partial prefills the positional arguments at the
    # beginning of the function we end up with the first positional argument
    # being allocated to the name instead of to the class instance (self) as
    # normal.  To deal with that we make the property name field the first
    # positional argument and self the second arg.
    #
    # Because these methods are defined inside of the class, they get bound to
    # the instance when the object is created.  After we run partial on them
    # and put the result back into the class as a property, they get bound
    # a second time.  This leads to self being  placed in the arguments twice.
    # To work around that, we mark the functions as @staticmethod so that the
    # first binding to the instance doesn't happen.

    # The function signature is a little strange because of how we define
    # them.  We use partial to give each method the name of the Attribute that
    # it is for.  Since partial prefills the positional arguments at the
    # beginning of the function we end up with the first positional argument
    # being allocated to the name instead of to the class instance (self) as
    # normal.  To deal with that we make the property name field the first
    # positional argument and self the second arg.
    #
    # Because these methods are defined inside of the class, they get bound to
    # the instance when the object is created.  After we run partial on them
    # and put the result back into the class as a property, they get bound
    # a second time.  This leads to self being  placed in the arguments twice.
    # To work around that, we mark the functions as @staticmethod so that the
    # first binding to the instance doesn't happen.

    # positional argument and self the second arg.

    # the instance when the object is created.  After we run partial on them
    # and put the result back into the class as a property, they get bound
    # a second time.  This leads to self being  placed in the arguments twice.
    # To work around that, we mark the functions as @staticmethod so that the
    # first binding to the instance doesn't happen.

    # The function signature is a little strange because of how we define

    # beginning of the function we end up with the first positional argument
    # being allocated to the name instead of to the class instance (self) as
    # normal.  To deal with that we make the property name field the first
    # positional argument and self the second arg.

    # the instance when the object is created.  After we run partial on them
    # and put the result back into the class as a property, they get bound
    # a second time.  This leads to self being  placed in the arguments twice.
