    - -Inf as '-.inf'
    - NaN as '.nan'
    - TRUE is now emitted as 'yes', and FALSE as 'no'
  - because the YAML specification does not specify how to handle NA values,
    the various NA types are emitted as follows:
    - NA: .na
    - NA_real_: .na.real
    - NA_integer_: .na.integer
    - NA_character_: .na.character

v2.1.0
  - re-wrote as.yaml in C (using libyaml's emitter)
  - removed the `pre.indent` option to as.yaml, mainly because libyaml
    doesn't support pre-indention and I'm not sure the option is useful
    anymore; will revisit if requested

v2.0.0
  - switch from the Syck parser to the libyaml (0.1.4) parser
  - changed behavior:
    - sequences of sequences no longer collapse when they contain the same
