@CJ-Wright - you could definitely put together a PR for docs at https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/tree/master/src. I'm definitely up for documenting this wart, and then we can look at streamlining the process after.

FWIW I think there is a TODO in the code for this at https://github.com/pycontribs/ruyaml/blob/54f84f8425509952eb21745249e23fdfb3de41fa/lib/ruyaml/parser.py#L906.
