YAML::Tiny loads things it should error on

[ingydotnet]

This YAML:

- *foo
- [foo]
- {foo}
- {xxx: yyy}
- ? foo

Loads as:

$VAR1 = [
  '*foo',
  '[foo]',
  '{foo}',
  {
    '{xxx' => 'yyy}'
  },
  '? foo'
];

These are all valid YAML things, but YAML::Tiny loads them as scalars. Instead
it should throw an error, since they are things that YAML::Tiny doesn't support
by design.

I have a more complete list. These should all be invalid:

!foo: bar
&foo: bar
*foo: bar
,foo: bar
[foo: bar
]foo: bar
{foo: bar
}foo: bar
|foo: bar
>foo: bar
? foo: bar
@foo: bar
`foo: bar

The problem is, if people are using these things in YAML and read it with YAML::Tiny, it will load it, and then it will be incompatible with other modules in perl and other languages.
So I agree with @ingydotnet : while I see that YAML::Tiny just implements a subset, it should at least die in these cases.

Also:

- *foo
- ,foo
- [foo]
- ]foo
- {foo: bar}
- }foo
- ? foo

loads as (JSON):

[
  "*foo",
  ",foo",
  "[foo]",
  "]foo",
  {
    "{foo": "bar}"
  },
  "}foo",
  "? foo"
]

While some of that should be invalid and some should be loaded differently.
