Hey John,
I noticed that your code is using the Syck library for Yaml. How were you able to get it to deal with Unicode characters? I just wrote a new yaml library based on libyaml if you want to give it a shot (yaml on hackage). It doesn't support aliases, but is otherwise feature complete.

Oh, rats, I hadn't realized that Syck had that limitation! I think I can work around it, but I'll have to look into it. I wasn't able to install your yaml library: % cabal install yaml Resolving dependencies... Configuring yaml-0.0.0... Preprocessing library yaml-0.0.0... dist/build/Text/Libyaml.chs.h:2:31: error: ../../../c/helper.h: No such file or directory c2hs: Error during preprocessing custom header file cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: yaml-0.0.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1 I have debian libyaml-dev installed. Any ideas? Also, how hard would it be to support aliases in your package? I use them. John
