How about "object_tree" instead of just "object" to better indicate that
input/output isn't just a long object:
$yaml = $o->object_tree_as_yaml;
$o->init_with_yaml_object_tree($yaml);
Actually, depending on how you plan to encode things, it may be more
appropriate to take this approach in the second example:
$o = object_tree_from_yaml($yaml);
so you no longer need to know the class of the tree root.

Yep, that's the approach I'd take.
