I could go digging deeper, but my suspicion is that `ignore_keywords` just isn't taken into account in all cases. I think it's probably used more when comparing just the values...

In Sage's interface to GAP (and the Sage-independent Python library I'm working based on the Sage interface) this issue is currently the only reason it needs to use the internal...

GAP.jl basically does the same thing, but defines a new GAP function `STREAM_CALL` for this purpose. Having this in GAP itself could also be useful: https://github.com/oscar-system/GAP.jl/blob/2d383fcecd48bbcc90b520cf6dec3217175a76c0/pkg/JuliaInterface/src/JuliaInterface.c#L320

I wonder, for the sake of consistency/sanity, the ASDF standard shouldn't specify a default naming scheme for the files produced by "exploding" a file to exploded form, while giving libraries...

That's sort of what I was thinking too. If just a directory destination is given it could use the default pattern. But allowing a user-specified pattern (including the directory) would...

I think writing out individual child-objects in a hierarchical data structure is a different use case than what exploded form is for.

To make a FITS analogy, exploded form is (somewhat) like writing the FITS header and the binary data to separate files. Whereas I think what @rossant is asking is more...

I did a quick looking around and came up with at least a couple YAML interfaces for MATLAB that use LibYAML wrapped in an [MEX binary](http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/introducing-mex-files.html). But I'm guessing your...

I'm a little confused by [this proposal](https://github.com/asdf-format/asdf-standard/wiki/2.0.0-roadmap/_edit#drop-the-tag-uri-scheme-and-use-http-uris-for-yaml-tagging). I thought the point of the `tag` property in schemas was that the object being validated must have that tag. It's not assigning...

Not sure why [this proposal](https://github.com/asdf-format/asdf-standard/wiki/2.0.0-roadmap/_edit#drop-style-related-properties-from-the-metaschema). I always thought this was useful and can make for cleaner looking documents in many cases. As described in YAML Schema they're only intended as...
