Tags
----
The YAML syntax supports tags as a way to specify the type of a node before
it is parsed. This allows dynamic types of nodes. But the YAML I/O model uses
static typing, so there are limits to how you can use tags with the YAML I/O
model. Recently, we added support to YAML I/O for checking/setting the optional
tag on a map. Using this functionality it is even possbile to support differnt
mappings, as long as they are convertable.
To check a tag, inside your mapping() method you can use io.mapTag() to specify
what the tag should be. This will also add that tag when writing yaml.
