Nil tag with implicit: false raises error on SnakeYAML

[headius]

The following line, when reached by the tests from #475, triggers SnakeYAML to raise an error:

psych/lib/psych/visitors/yaml_tree.rb

Line 520 in 546154d

register o, @emitter.start_mapping(nil, c.tag, c.implicit, c.style)

The error:

RuntimeError: org.yaml.snakeyaml.emitter.EmitterException: tag is not specified

As far as I can tell, the issue is that the tag is nil and implicit is false, which is prohibited in SnakeYAML for a mapping.

This is somewhat outside my understanding of YAML and I am not sure whether this constitutes an improper behavioral difference in SnakeYAML or not.

The implicit value comes from the default @implicit of Coder, and is never set to true in the logic hit by the tests mentioned above. As it stands I do not know how to reconcile the values being passed in with the SnakeYAML hard error.

This leads to the remaining failures in jruby/jruby#6680, which I will exclude to proceed with the Psych update.

@headius do you need any support here or the issue is closed ?
