Preserve the order when doing Marshal & Unmarshal: gopkg.in/yaml.v2

[BLasan]

In current yaml Marshal and Unmarshal processes do not preserve the order when a specific struct is not used. However, there's an alternative approach to preserve the order which is using the yaml.MapSlice when doing Marshal & Unmarshal. However, this has an additional work around when comes to the data modification part in the interface. Wouldn't it be good to have a separate function parameter which works on preserving the oder when encoding & decoding?

yaml.Marshal(interface, True) - Second parameter will be considered for the order preservation (if it's true then order will be preserved, otherwise, order preservation is not guaranteed. Default value can be set toTrue since a user wants to have the same order when reading & writing.

yaml.Unmarshal(content, interface, True) - Same as the above method

I think you need to report this issue here in stead:
