Additionally YAML supports a drop-in PStore equivalent, so if your code
is already structured to use PStore, you can a YAML::Store the same way.

require 'yaml/store'

ystore = YAML::Store.new("my_datafile.ystore")

# use ystore just as you would a pstore:

my_hash = {"a"=>1, "b"=>2}
my_array = %w(dog cat elephant)

# store stuff in the database

ystore.transaction do
  ystore["my_hash"] = my_hash
  ystore["my_array"] = my_array
end

# print out all keys/values in database

ystore.transaction do
  ystore.roots.each do |key|
    puts ystore[key].inspect
  end
end


# note the above code is untested
