There were bugs in this that needed to be resolved. No time to get the
fix reviewed sufficiently for 2.6.0.
We'll get this into 2.7.0 and try to get this into 2.6.1 as well.
Will need the work done in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/36218
when it does get merged.
As mentioned in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/41549694/6778826 we was able to solve a bad behaviour of `blockinfile` module.
We must change two parts in one file which we have done in two tasks. Every run have rewriten the first block with the second block in the wrong position. **After** we have set the `marker` in the second task to another value was the `blockinfile` module able to insert both parts in the right position in the same file.

* Reminder that lookup(‘file’) can be used
Sometimes the block of text does not easily fit into a playbook, so this acts as a reminder (or a prompt for anyone who hasn't used this before) that the content could be stored in an separate file.
I've also included `backup: yes` as I think this is a good example of where a backup might be needed.
* Correct the not so "smart quotes"
* Update blockinfile.py
Replace – with an an ASCII -
Not all file-related modules consistently use "path" as the attribute to specify a single filename, some use "dest", others use "name". Most do have aliases for either "name" or "destfile".
This change makes "path" the default attribute for (single) file-related modules, but also adds "dest" and "name" as aliases, so that people can use a consistent way of attributing paths, but also to ensure backward compatibility with existing playbooks.
NOTE: The reason for changing this, is that it makes Ansible needlessly harder to use if you have to remember that e.g. the xattr module requires the name attribute, the lineinfile module requires a dest attribute, and the stat module requires a path attribute.
