The \f(CW $output \fR argument may be:
.IP \(bu 4
a reference to a scalar to append YAML to
.IP \(bu 4
the handle of an open file
.IP \(bu 4
a reference to an array into which YAML will be pushed
.IP \(bu 4
a code reference
.PP
If you supply a code reference the subroutine will be called once for
each line of output with the line as its only argument. Passed lines
will have no trailing newline.
