you've seen the yaml.org type repository? [1]  well, we should have a 
type repository for ruby types.  at one time this was destined for 
ruby.yaml.org.  we could start one up on wiki. [2]

let me check with yaml-core.  in the meantime, you might follow omap's 
type spec. [3]  send me a document with URI, shorthand, kind, definition 
and any examples you'd like.  also: a link to the cshadow home.
