If a compiled perl serializes to perl source code, is compiled C# or whatver supposed to serialize to C# source code as well? What is supposed to happen when restoring something dumped like this? Is perl supposed to compile the code? Are other languages supposed to compile their code? What is supposed to happen when trading YAML between environments? YAML is a portable format so I don't understand what it means when language specific things are folded into it. That's contrary to the point of YAML, isn't it?
