Syck is pretty flexible about the "inline" collections.  Just make sure
that some degree of indentation is respected as you use these and they
can be nested and all that.

Valid:

- !ruby/object:SomeClass {foo: 23, bar: 37,
     bam: 237, kablooey: [8, 8, 8], bazzuumka: 990}

Invalid:

- !ruby/object:SomeClass {foo:23,
bar: 37, bam: 237, kablooey: 888,
bazzuumka: 990}
