@willhbr@ruby.social this is a very specific use case. I have no experience with this. The first idea I have is to use raw yaml lib to parse and expand references before giving it to serde.

@pointlessone@status.pointless.one So I learnt today that the `<<: *foo` syntax (called a merge key) is only in YAML 1.1 (https://yaml.org/type/merge.html) and not YAML 1.2. But seemingly a bunch of YAML 1.2 parsers include it, which is why I expected it to work.
