 /**
- * YAML configuration loader. This class is very far from finished, as it
- * only supports simple property lookup at the moment. Lists and nodes will be
- * supported in the future. For specifying node paths in the various get*()
- * methods, they support SK's path notation, allowing you to select child nodes
- * by using syntax in the form of root.parent.child. All node names are case
- * sensitive. YAML files are loaded safely and Java objects will not
- * be created if they are specified in the YAML file.
+ * YAML configuration loader. To use this class, construct it with path to
+ * a file and call its load() method. For specifying node paths in the
+ * various get*() methods, they support SK's path notation, allowing you to
+ * select child nodes by delimiting node names with periods.
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * For example, given the following configuration file:</p>
+ * 
+ * <pre>members:
+ *     - Hollie
+ *     - Jason
+ *     - Bobo
+ *     - Aya
+ *     - Tetsu
+ * worldguard:
+ *     fire:
+ *         spread: false
+ *         blocks: [cloth, rock, glass]
+ * craftbook:
+ *     midi: true
+ * sturmeh:
+ *     cool: false
+ *     lame: true
+ *     likes:
+ *         cuteasianboys: true
+ *     eats:
+ *         babies: true</pre>
+ * 
+ * <p>Calling code could access sturmeh's baby eating state by using
+ * <code>getBoolean("sturmeh.eats.babies", false)</code>. For lists, there are
+ * methods such as <code>getStringList</code> that will return a type safe list.
+ * 
+ * <p>This class is currently incomplete. It is not yet possible to get a node.
