YAML.load_stream should process documents as they are read

Description

Psych say YAML.load_documents is deprecated and say to use YAML.load_stream instead.

Looking at the implementation for load_stream(), looks to me as if it waits for all documents in the stream to load before anything can be done with it.

# File 'lib/psych.rb', line 221

def self.load_stream yaml
  parse_stream(yaml).children.map { |child| child.to_ruby }
end

I don't think this should be the case. Ideally load_stream() would take a block, and if an IO object is given, read a document, yield it and then read the next document, and so on.

I imagine an Enumerator might be applicable to this as well.

Looking at the implementation for load_stream(), looks to me as if it waits for all documents in the stream to load before anything can be done with it.

I don't think this should be the case. Ideally load_stream() would take a block, and if an IO object is given, read a document, yield it and then read the next document, and so on.

I imagine an Enumerator might be applicable to this as well.

I'd rather not change load_stream, but I want this functionality as
well. What about something like this:

YAML::Reader.new(io).each do |doc|
...
end

Deserialized documents will be yielded as read. Does that seem
acceptable? I'm hesitant to make it enumerable though because if we're
truly doing stream processing, you couldn't iterate on the same object
twice (imagine reading YAML from a socket or something).

Yea, that would suffice. It would still be nice to have a more intuitive/convenient class method though.

What about a new method, process_stream or each_document, or something like that, to wrap that code? Oh wait... why not just keep load_documents method for this and that way it will remain backward compatible with Syck API?

Honestly, I think you're right about the load_stream method. I'll
just make it take a block and act the same as load_documents.
