Hi

Is yaml supposed to be working atm because when I try it, it definitely  
does  
some weird things. When I run the tests there is one test that fails the  
yamlorg\_refcard.yml.

And this is my test.

YAML support currently does what it needs to do in order to run Rails.  
Beyond that, all bets are off ☺.

Let the flow of bug reports commence!

You’ve asked for it 🙂  
I’ll be on IronRuby from now until sunday so I’ll probably be sending a  
couple more emails over the next couple of days 🙂
