This is actually a very simple modification. All it means is that a
line break can also be used instead of a ','. Right now the above
causes Syck to raise a syntax error, so as it stands it's just unused
syntax possibility. The simplicity in this case is mainly with regard
to human readability, although it also adds a very quick way to make a
document indent independent.
