That's great.

Syck doesn't have hooks (it's a very basic loader), and PyYAML uses
a 'registry' of sorts, but it isn't very well done.  I just use
maps/lists for the most part. 

I had planned to "hook" the Python binding of YAML into the broader
'pickle' framework, by patching it with a more pluggable interface.
The PyYaml code that traverses a internal Python structure gets 
confused now and again.

Best,
