Getting YAMLs without populating defaults

[tovacinni]

Hi tyro team,

First of all thanks for this super cool configuration library!! It looks awesome.

While reading the docs and playing around with the configurator I had a small question: is it possible to output a yaml file for a hierarchical config without first populating the argument defaults via the command line?

The usecase is as follows:

After defining a (hierarchical) dataclass schema, I want to populate a yaml with all null entries so that I can then populate that yaml to use as the default arguments. Ideally I can follow a flow like: 1. the code looks for a default config 2. if none exists, will populate an empty config 3. users can then populate the defaults inside the yaml, and then override the yaml with CLI arguments.
