On: The Norway Problem

Looks fine to me:

    [[a.b]]
    c = 1
    d = [
       { e = 2 },
       { f = { g = 3 } }
    ]

An improvement, but the original YAML is still significantly better, in my opinion.

Also many (most? all?) serializers don't let you control which fields are serialized inline vs not. So if you have a program that generates configuration, you're going to end up with the original unreadable form anyway.
