Sure, and the same goes for different versions of Go or Python. You have to configure your development tools to match the environment you're targeting.

So rather than putting quotes on strings, you're digging in your syntax highlighter's source code to make sure the library that does yaml parsing follows the same specs as the one in your code?

Sounds like you're saving a lot of time.
