It should be possible to ignore any given node (or mapping pair) with a minimal change in the file. I think a tag is likely the way to go. Something like `!X` maybe. The std `comment` function returns `nil` which is not the same as ignoring. Uses I can see right away: * Ignore a mapping pair. * Ignore a sequence entry * Ignore remaining pairs in mapping * Ignore remaining entries in sequence * Ignore the next n pairs or entries * Ignore an entire document in a multi-doc stream ---- Idea inspired by https://github.com/yaml/yaml-spec/issues/330
