yaml loader for pre-parser testing?

[logicplace]

Been considering a way of representing imperial descriptions in yaml as a precursor to the custom syntax. It'd be easier to parse, just uglier to write.

This doesn't need to be done, but try it and if it seems simple enough, may be worth doing. Main complexity I foresee is references. It would be cool to use the real anchor system but not sure if pyyaml gives access to that info at a low level or if it'd even be a good idea to do that. Likely using the actual reference operator wouldn't work, because it doesn't allow subscripting anyway.

Anyways, investigate, if it seems simple, make a formal proposal and link; if not, close this as won't do.
