Investigate the YAML situation
Reported by Evan Phoenix | May 8th, 2008 @ 11:29 PM | in 1.0
RbYAML has lots of breakages, and we need to perform 2 tasks on the YAML front.
- Spec out as many failures in RbYAML as we can find
- Investigating either fixing RbYAML or switching to another YAML lib

A current update on this:
I'm currently working on (1), #dump and #load are mostly spec covered.
For (2), the new RbYAML version's supposed to run just fine on Rubinius, I'll try to update our version and let you know how it goes.

The latest RbYAML version still has some issues with rbx compiler in situations like:
@best_indent = opts[:Indent] if 2...10 === opts[:Indent]
Where it complains about not being able to resolve flip3. The decision on this was that RBX won't support it, right?
If that's the case I'll start porting it.

No, we need to support flip3 (and flip2) but support for it hasn't been coded into the compiler yet.
