new blocks for the same item overwrite last?

Need to test in version 2.0 - will separate blocks for the same item still overwrite?

eg.
ICE:

  • tool: ....
    etc..
    ICE: # in older versions this overwrote the above block rather than adding to it.
  • world: otherworld...

It will, simply by the nature of YAML. You can't even get around it with aliases, because the merging function for which aliases are useful (the << key) only works for mappings.

You could get around it by changing the basic syntax from this:

  BLOCK:
    - drop1
    - drop2

to this:

  - BLOCK:
      - drop1
      - drop2
  - BLOCK2:
    - etc

(Note: Github's code tags seem to be broken, so just assume the indentation is there, with drops indented under blocks.)

It would make reading the file a little bit more difficult (since Configuration makes it a bit harder to deal with lists than with mappings) and would completely invalidated all existing 1.x config files. Personally, I don't think it's worth it.

Hmm... would there be any other ramifications with this?
