No, by not allowing this and reserving it for
keyed_in_series.

I'm talking of being unnecessarily restrictive.

Even worse.


Ok, I'm dutch but not stupid (at least all the time). This
is a *serious* proposal. The rationale behind it is that
the user wants to write text in a YAML file without being
hindered with special characters that are not relevant to
that context and that with some added inteligence the parser
can treat as normal characters.
