Print YamlNodes

[F0Xde]

Sorry if this is an unnecessary question, but due to the lack of documentation I am unsure how I would go about constructing a YAML document manually from the different YamlNode types and then "serialize" it later (like one could do with the typical JsonElements). The only thing I could find was the contentToString() function, but while this may be fine it does not provide a way to format the resulting output in a pretty manner and customize this behaviour using a YamlConfiguration. Again, very sorry if I am just missing this, but I could not find anything like json's JsonElementSerializer (which is also automatically used by the extension methods with reified type parameters, something that seems missing here too).

Hi @F0Xde, this isn't something that is currently supported. Writing a YamlElementSerializer similar to the built-in JsonElementSerializer wouldn't be too difficult - if you're interested in doing this, I'd gladly accept a PR, but I don't have time to add this at the moment.

I just started implemting such a serializer

I created #302, but I'm personally not happy with the implementation and I'll be switching to a different approach anyway, but maybe someone else can pick this up.
