I've given the implicit indicators some thought
and I must say I don't like it beacuse it makes
YAML more complicated.  Having indicators 
gives us N rules to memorise.  Having all
of these indicators optional under particular
circumstances doubles the number of rules.
After a short period of time, your eyes
glance over the % and @ without problem.

I'd rather keep YAML simple and thus more
readable. No short hands!

Best,
