Loading to named tuple

[worldmind]

Hi,
Thanks for interesting project - we live in very strange world, where so basic things like human readable file format has no good and popular solution.
StrictYAML looks like good candidate.
I have a small question/feature request - is it possible to load StrictYAML file not to OrderedDict, but to named tuple?
Where is two reasons for this:

1. It's immutable - for example, it's more safe for global config.
2. It's more readable: you can write person.name instead person['name']

Thanks!

I'm afraid it's not possible to load to named tuple directly. StrictYAML is designed to allow roundtripping, so mutability is built in by default.

That said - it should be relatively straightforward to use something like this to take the output of .data and replace the dicts with named tuples.

If more people request this I might consider putting this function in the library directly, but for now it feels like something that belongs outside of it.

Ok, thanks for answer.
