   good things happening in YAMLand right now.  Syck has 
   received a Perl module, sewn by Ingy.  Clark has 
   worked up Revision #4 of the bytecode.  as well as a new API.

 should i have the time:
 - add Unicode support to re2c and patch-or-fork.
   i'm thinking of rewriting it in ruby, as it would make
   a great alternative to pure regexp parsing and could be
   supported in ruby's core.

 - add bytecode lexer.  uses the same grammar as the YAML lexer.

 - support clark's api within the parser.  this will cause
   me to shortly abstract away the current node handler.  in
   other words, the current callback system will secretly be
   powered by a pull parser.

 - provide an API for returning a node's YPath.  this will
   allow stream filtering with YPath.  let's say you run a
   YPath query against a massive stream, you could return
   nodes as they are completed (in their own stream).
