### Values starting with a hyphen (or dash)
This needs a bit of trickery so that it won't try to parse the value as a CLI option. Specifically you will need to wrap the value with a single and double quotes:
The flag terminator needs to be used to stop the app from attempting to parse the subsequent arguments as flags:

yaml w -- my.path -3
```
will output
```yaml
my:
path: -Dvalue
path: -3
```
