[Q] questions about Syck

Hi,

I have some questions about Syck.

Q1.
How to add original data type and data pattern?
For example:
 - to get 'on'/'off' to be parsed as true/false.
 - to get '/^[A-Z]+$/' to be parsed as regular expression.

Q2.
Ruby 1.8.3 has just released.
Which version of Syck is included in Ruby 1.8.3 and 1.8.2?
What changes are there between them?

Q3.
The following options are defined in 'yaml/constants.rb':
  :Indent => 2, :UseHeader => false, :UseVersion => false, :Version => '1.0',
  :SortKeys => false, :AnchorFormat => 'id%03d', :ExplicitTypes => false,
  :WidthType => 'absolute', :BestWidth => 80,
  :UseBlock => false, :UseFold => false, :Encoding => :None
These options are intended to be used witch Object#to_yaml(),
YAML::Stream.new(), and YAML::Store.new().
But all except :Indent, :SortKeys, :ExplicitTypes and :UseBlock are not
available when I tried on Ruby 1.8.2.
What options are available in Ruby 1.8.2 and 1.8.3?

Q4.
Object#to_yaml or YAML.dump() always prints document separator '---'.
Is there a way to suppress document separator?
There were ':Separator otpion' in the YAML4r document, but it is not
found in Syck.


Could you give me any advice?
