Feature request: provide option (preferably this would be the default) to ignore yes/no/Yes/No/on/off/etc. as booleans.

PyYaml seems to be an odd hybrid between 1.1 and 1.2; its canonical form of boolean is true/false (1.1 says y and n) but it allows the full gamut of boolean forms from 1.1 including yes/no/Yes/No/on/off which are excluded from 1.2: http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2804923

@jason-s Have you found a workaround? Is it possible to dump a key with y or n that is wrapped in single quotes?

I think so, but my use of Python libraries is so bursty that I don't remember.

this option would be really nice .. wrapping it using single quotes works but it is not that intuitive for all the users
