Subject: YAML questions

Since I notice _why is around, I'll ask a couple of things
that have been on my mind.

First of all, are there guidelines somewhere for writing YAML
manually? I can't figure out how to put hashes/arrays in a
single line instead of multiple lines. (I got the idea this was
possible somehow.)

Also, why don't we have #load_file and #dump_file or something
of that nature? I frequently find myself doing:

    obj = nil
    File.open("filename") {|f| obj = YAML.load(f) }

when I want to do:

    obj = YAML.load_file("filename")


Just a thought.
