In YAML, comments are thrown away, so they are not officially supported for a 
roundtrip.  (See http://yaml.org/spec/ 3.2.2 for more.)  But someone could 
definitely write a preprocessor to strip YAML comments and match them up with 
the keys when you emit the document again.

This could be a useful feature.  I'll think about it.
