Subject: YAML serialization of Hash with Set key not loadable

YAML serialization seems to be failing for me with any structure that
involves a hash with a set key. Is there documentation anywhere on what
sorts of objects are able to be serialized/deserialized via YAML? Or if
this is a bug that's fixed in a newer ruby version (I'm using
1.9.1p378)?  I would have expected this to work...

Example failing case
YAML.load(YAML.dump({[1].to_set=>1}))

Set itself seems to work fine
YAML.load(YAML.dump([1,2,3].to_set)

ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [x86_64-linux]
