193	PyYAML doesn't use __float__, etc.	craigyk@…	xi	"I've noticed that PyYAML doesn't seem to respect the __float__, or other default type casters.  This makes setting up serialization of some types trickier than it needs to be.

IE:  I can convert a numpy array to nested lists easily using the tolist() method, but the values inside may still be one of the default bumpy types.... even though most of those types have a __float__ method to cast the value...

I could add a bunch of yaml handlers, but that would be sub-optimal."	enhancement	new	normal	pyyaml	normal
