#    filename (str): Optional filename to be used in error reports
#
# Returns:
#    (Mapping): The loaded YAML mapping
#
# Raises:
#    (LoadError): Raised on invalid YAML, or YAML which parses to something other
#                 than a Mapping

#

# parsing with `roundtrip_load` or `roundtrip_load_data` so that they will be
# dumped in the same form as they came from.
#
# If `file` is a string, it is the filename to write to, if `file` has a
# `write` method, it's treated as a stream, otherwise output is to stdout.
#
# Args:
#    contents (Mapping or list): The content to write out as YAML.
#    file (any): The file to write to
