Hi, the following doesn't work :

- &element1
  stuff: "Hey !"
  link: *element2 # this causes trouble

- &element2
  stuff: "Ho !"
  link: *element1

Is it normal, or is it just unsupported for now ? It would be nice to have it :)

>>> 'a' is 'a'
True
>>> 'a.' is 'a.'
True
>>> syck.dump(['a', 'a'])
'--- \n- a\n- a\n'
>>> syck.dump(['a.', 'a.'])
'--- \n- &id001 a.\n- *id001\n'
>>>

the first two commands show that python itself doesn't distinguish. This is especially problematic since the second case produces a segmentation fault when using syck-0.55-r3 (and surely other older versions).

With the latest PyYAML (3.04):

$ python

Traceback (most recent call last):

    anchor = event.anchor
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'anchor'
>>> 

I think this is a bug - at least it should raise a yaml.scanner.ScannerError?, like yaml.load("'") does, and then it can be easily catched as a malformed stream. Right now, it's hard to deal with this.

Thanks, Iustin
