Subject: BARRIER - ruby yaml - utf-8 characters not human readable

After reading within some archives, it seems that the standard-
behaviour of ruby is to save utf-8 data within yaml files in this
form:

δοκιμή => "\x9B\xA6\xA1\xA0\xA3\xE3"

Is this so?

If yes, what is the simplest way to change this behaviour?

Requirements:

 * solution should be usable for end-users
 * solution should not require any changes within the application
which uses yaml

Example solution:

 * gem install another-yaml-which-saves-human-readable-utf-8

.
