Subject: Psych dumping in binary

I've got an app that I use ascii-8bit encoding as the default to
avoid throwing errors when checking against regexps, etc. 

Unfortunately, this causes Psych to dump out my data structures
in binary format. 

Would anyone be interested in a one-line patch to force dumping
in non-binary format?
