For https://github.com/simonw/russian-ira-facebook-ads-datasette/tree/af6d956995e14afd585c35a6a06bb01da32043ba I wrote a script to convert YAML to JSON because YAML is a better format for embedding multi-line HTML descriptions and canned SQL statements.

Example yaml metadata file: https://github.com/simonw/russian-ira-facebook-ads-datasette/blob/af6d956995e14afd585c35a6a06bb01da32043ba/russian-ads-metadata.yaml

It would be useful if Datasette could be fed a YAML file directly:

datasette -m metadata.yaml

Question is... should this be a native feature (hence adding a YAML dependency) or should it be handled by a datasette-metadata-yaml plugin, using a new plugin hook for loading metadata? If so, what would other use-cases for that plugin hook be?
