This data format looks very nice, but I cannot find the way to perform
any kind of interpolation within the YAML file.

I'd love to have something like this:

    home: /home/cbouvi/dev/MyApp
    include_templates: $home/templates/lib

Unfortunately, it seems that I must expand $home myself, i.e.:

    home: /home/cbouvi/dev/MyApp
    include_templates: /home/cbouvi/dev/MyApp/templates/lib

Is there a way to avoid copy'n'pasting throughout the whole config file?
Or is it not an issue because of something that I might have overlooked
and that makes my concerns completely irrelevant...

TIA
