Add a basic YAML processor. Much of the language is still unimplemented.

"YamlException"

[nweiz, 2012/04/23 23:06:33]

I expect people to implement this library with a prefix (hence the generic
top-level names like "load"). "yaml.YamlException" feels awkward and redundant.

[Bob Nystrom, 2012/04/24 00:50:36]

Hmm, we should discuss this offline. So far, we very rarely use prefixes and
don't see to design our libraries assuming users will use them.

[nweiz, 2012/04/25 00:26:29]

Done, although I'd rather see a more principled namespace system.
