The reason why '0034460310' gets quotes is to prevent it from being
understood as an octal number.

I wouldn't say it's a bug.

Why is it that the first number ends up quoted in YAML format and the<br>
second one is unquoted?<br>
<br>
YAML is generous with quotes, and in this case, I get an array of two<br>
strings back, when I do a YAML::load(....). Still, this looks a bit<br>
conspicuous. Is it an issue I should report on the bug tracker?<br>
