'''Add things to a YAML file.

Read an object from a YAML file. The object must be a dictionary. Add
a new value to the dictionary, or a sub-dictionary. Save the object
back to its original file.

Example:

    echo '{}' > foo.ick
    yaml-add foo.ick key1 key2 value

This would result in:

    key1:
        key2: value

If there is already a value, the value is made into a list and the new
value appended to the list. If the value is already a list, the value
is appended to the list.
