+YAML is a human friendly data serialization standard for all programming
+languages. It is commonly used for configuration files, logs, etc.
+
+ruamel.yaml is a YAML 1.2 loader/dumper package for Python. It is a
+derivative of Kirill Simonov’s PyYAML 3.11.
+
+ruamel.yaml supports YAML 1.2 and has round-trip loaders and dumpers
+that preserves, among others:
+
+* comments
+* block style and key ordering are kept, so you can diff the
+ round-tripped source
+* flow style sequences ( ‘a: b, c, d’)
+* anchor names that are hand-crafted (i.e. not of the form``idNNN``)
+* merges in dictionaries are preserved
