1307Addendum/2009: the YAML 1.2 spec is still incomaptible with JSON, even
1308though the incompatibilities have been documented (and are known to
1309Brian) for many years and the spec makes explicit claims that YAML is a
1310superset of JSON. It would be so easy to fix, but apparently, bullying and
1311corrupting userdata is so much easier.
