I've been experimenting with yamllint some. I haven't figured out how
to best integrate it in. Probably need to start with something minimal
and warning free for the tree and then add to it.

There's also yaml-format in the dtschema repo which just reads in and
writes out a yaml file using ruamel round trip yaml parser. That's
what I used here.

Sure, I can do that.

Right. Indentation is 2 more spaces than the parent keyword ignoring
any hyphen in the parent.

As above, correct indenting is 2 spaces from the parent not counting
any '-' in the parent, but the '-' counts for indenting the children.

Arguably, this style is inconsistent that sometimes the '-' counts and
sometimes it doesn't. However, I think this style is better because it
distinguishes lists vs. dicts more clearly. It's easy to miss the '-'
when the indentation is the same:

- foo:
  - bar
  - baz

- foo:
    bar
    baz

Or worse:

- foo:
  - bar
    baz

Both styles are valid. It's just a tabs vs. spaces debate, and I just
picked one.

With this patch, the tree is all correct examples. :)
