It also happens that YAML is a dirty, evil format to deal with on Win32 (and I suppose Mac as well). It seems to be hung up on the idea that LF is the One True Newline so while it may be convenient for all the people here where \n becomes \x0A after being written to a file, it is ghastly inconvenient for me (where \n is \x0D\x0A) and perhaps similarly inconvenient for Macs where I hear \n is \x0D.

So no more YAML until YAML figures out how to handle newlines sanely. The alternative is that people on standard platforms have to carefully feed all of their YAML data through \r -> ε, which is to say, Yuck!
