Subject: Re: yaml/ruby type registry? was Re: saving array


I haven't gotten around to setting up a specification page for my 
ruby/cshadow type, like you suggested, because I'm not certain what the 
URI should be. Something based on the site where I distribute the 
software? Let me know if I should be RTM somewhere, I didn't try yet. 
Anyway, is this URI necessary or is the shortcut (which would be 
!ruby/cshadow, I guess) good enough?

Also, I'm wondering about the logistics of YAML.add_ruby_type. I can do 
it when my class is loaded, but only if YAML itself has been loaded 
(which I don't need to do). If not, the code that's using my lib and 
YAML needs to do it. It's just a method call, but kind of a pain to 
remember to do it. Has anyone come up with clever solution to this?
