Grepping through the source code didn't reveal any meaningful references
to yaml.
There is an ad-hoc config generator in gnu/services/web.scm that
generates a tailon-config.yml, but at a quick glance it doesn't seem to
be a generic converter.  But maybe it's a good starting point?
I checked guile-libyaml but it is only a parser and doesn't support
serializing Scheme into YAML as far as I can tell.
