When I said "end tags", I was including ending curly braces. Matter of
fact, those are even harder for a human to deal with, because they give
no idea to the human which opening bracket they close. If you don't
have an editor that figures it out for you, a counting you will go :-)

YAML is line based and therefore has no ending braces or end tags. Much
faster/cleaner for humans.
