Support "commenting out" / ignoring nodes easily #198

Description

@ingydotnet

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 yaml/yaml-spec#330
