219,A tab inside a scalar is not accepted,py4fun@…,xi,"I got the exception when a tab character (\t) is located inside a scalar:
{{{
import yaml

yaml.load(""36L\tDIESEL"")
}}}
This is the output of the latest source:
{{{
  File ""C:\projects\py-workspace\pyyaml-trunk\lib\yaml\parser.py"", line 143, in parse_implicit_document_start
    StreamEndToken):

  in ""<string>"", line 1, column 4:

}}}
When the tab character is replaced with a space, the parser works properly.
