Just for the record, there's also a Python implementation, also called
yq, which also handles XML:

https://yq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I think it's slightly more interesting because it does more than just
YAML.. But maybe the python one should be called "xq" (or "xyq"?)
instead. ;)

In any case, someone should probably let those upstreams know about the
naming conflict.
