<p>Any type except of Node can be stored in a Node, but default YAML
types (integers, floats, strings, timestamps, etc.) will be stored
more efficiently.
<br>
<br>
Note that to emit any non-default types you store
in a node, you need a Representer to represent them in YAML -
otherwise emitting will fail.
</p>
<b>Parameters:</b><div class="pbr"><table class=parms><tr><td valign=top>value</td>
<td valign=top>Value to store in the node.</td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top>tag</td>
<td valign=top>Overrides tag of the node when emitted, regardless
of tag determined by Representer. Representer uses
this to determine YAML data type when a D data type
maps to multiple different YAML data types. Tag must
be in full form, e.g. "tag:yaml.org,2002:int", not
a shortcut, like "!!int".</td></tr>
</table></div>
</dd>
<dt class="d_decl">this(T)(T[] <b>array</b>, in string <b>tag</b> = null);
</dt>
<dd><p>Construct a node from an array.
</p>
<p>If array is an array of nodes or pairs, it is stored directly.
Otherwise, every value in the array is converted to a node, and
those nodes are stored.

<b>Parameters:</b><div class="pbr"><table class=parms><tr><td valign=top>array</td>
<td valign=top>Values to store in the node.</td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top>tag</td>
<td valign=top>Overrides tag of the node when emitted, regardless
of tag determined by Representer. Representer uses
this to determine YAML data type when a D data type
maps to multiple different YAML data types.
This is used to differentiate between YAML sequences
("!!seq") and sets ("!!set"), which both are
internally represented as an array_ of nodes. Tag
must be in full form, e.g. "tag:yaml.org,2002:set",
not a shortcut, like "!!set".</td></tr>

This is used to differentiate between YAML unordered
mappings ("!!map"), ordered mappings ("!!omap"), and
pairs ("!!pairs") which are all internally
represented as an array of node pairs. Tag must be

<br><b>Mapping default values:</b>
<br>
<div class="pbr">The '=' key can be used to denote the default value of a mapping.
This can be used when a node is scalar in early versions of a program,
but is replaced by a mapping later. Even if the node is a mapping, the
<a name="get"></a><span class="ddoc_psymbol">get</span> method can be used as if it was a scalar if it has a default value.
This way, new YAML files where the node is a mapping can still be read
by old versions of the program, which expect the node to be a scalar.
