Re: Feature request: repeated nodes without anchors

Dear Alex,
please be aware that YAML is no JSON, the keys do not have to be strings.
It can be a structure of any complexity (for instance an array with strings
and numbers)
First  we need to agree on a XPath-like definition for YAML.
Unfortunately current YAML specification tries to include any hack ever
invented for a text format (Perl-like approach). It has 18 (!!!)
definitions for a boolean value. May be some day YAML format will drop all
the complex things and then small and convenient things (like the one you
suggest) will be easy.

Have fun,
Andrey
