Subject: Saving and restoring with YAML

Hi all,

I have a quick question about YAML.  From the documentation it seems as 
though it was designed for, or is well suited to saving/restoring an 
object's state, but from looking at it I can't quite tell what the ideal 
way of doing this is.  Say I have a class that looks like:

class Foo
   attr_accessor :bar, :arr, :buzz

   def initialize
     @bar = true
     @arr = []
     @buzz = "Here is some string"
   end
end


What would the "save" and "load" methods of that class look like if I 
wanted to use YAML?

Ben
