I already have a patch for this, since I needed it for my own use. The patch comes with all the same tests as functionality as load\_json(). It’s actually trivial; mostly a duplicate of the load\_json() function, and since serde\_yaml is already in the binary due to it being included to parse the frontmatter, it’s impact on binary size is minimal.

That should be fine to add.
