Not quite. You also need to discriminate the *type* of the superposition:
Oh right. I was thinking that C<any> and friends were operations, not types.
Oops.
YAML type-URIs are made up of a type-family with an optional format:
!domain.com/type#format
and:
!int
is shorthand for:
!yaml.org/int#dec
So I'm wondering if any|all|one|none can be formats of !super?
I guess so. But they're not really formats, so much as distinct types.
And if so, should there be a default format?
No.
# !yaml.org/any
letters: !any [a, b, c]
Good.
# !yaml.org/super#all
digits: !super#all
- 0
- 1
- 2
Bad.
# !perl.yaml.org/one (Perl specific types)
names: !perl/one [Brian, Ingy, Mr
Inline] # (Yes, this dwims :)
Ugly. (And it would probably have to be !perl6/one)
# !perl.yaml.org/super-none (longer type name, no format)
sane: !perl/super-none

Urk.
It might be more forward thinking to allow any|all|one|none into the
yaml.org type repository.
That's my view.
