Merge with anchors in a different file impossible

[nowox]

This example will not work:

import hiyapyco

a = '''

---
foo: &foo
    a: 1
    b: 2
'''

b = '''

---
bar: *foo
'''

hiyapyco.load(a,b, method=hiyapyco.METHOD_MERGE)

This is because of the order things are done. First, all of the yaml files are loaded individually, and then the merge is performed.

I've been digging around in the hiyapyco and pyyaml code and am not sure if it's possible to implement this without breaking the other merge functionality (declaring the same property twice in the same file just overrides the first).
