Just a design consideration: Perhaps you want a separate dictionary to
contain the YAML attributes.  You can delegate extra objects to it
with getattr and setattr.  Or get extra objects with getitem and
setitem.  Otherwise, you might want 'save' and 'uid' to have a leading
underscore.

By better, do you mean more concise, easier to access, more robust, or
etc.?
