My initial estimate of "a half dozen or so" lines of comments was
wildly inaccurate.
To keep it readable, it's currently at 30 lines.

Any suggestions of what could be trimmed out?
Different layout suggestions?
(Lines are currently limited to 78 chars)

#   Lines starting with "#" are comments.
#   Indent each new level with an equal number of space characters.
#   Tab characters cannot be used to indent.

#   A plain key/value pair ( ensure there is a space after the ":" )
#key: value

#   An empty value
#key: ''

#   A List ( ensure there is a space after the "-" )
#key:
#  - value 1
#  - value 2

#   Nested key/values
#key:
#  nested key 1: value
#  nested key 2: value

#   With a single-quoted value, use 2 quotes to represent a literal quote
#key: 'single quote '' with a value'

#   Double-quoted values can contain escaped characters, such as newlines "\n"
#key: "line 1\n line 2"

#   Multiline values start with the ">" character. Line-folding is applied.
#key: >
#  After processing, the linebreak between these 2 lines
#  will be removed.
