Language implementations for yaml vary _wildly_.

What does the following parse as:

    some_map:
      key: value
      no: cap
If I google "yaml online" and paste it in, one gives me:

{'some_map': {False: 'cap', 'key': 'value'}}

The other gives me:

{'some_map': {'false': 'cap', 'key': 'value'}}

... and neither gives what a human probably intended, huh?
