to_yamlet.numeric: Coerce Numeric to Yamlet Storage Format

Description

Coerces numeric to yamlet storage format. By default, numeric values would be processed as character. But character values with a leading dash are ordinarily quoted, since in character context a leading dash could be mistaken for a yaml metacharacter. In the case of a numeric value, however, we can be fairly certain that, despite appearances, the dash if any is actually a negative sign. This method intends to leave negative numerics unquoted, like their positive counterparts.

Usage

# S3 method for numeric
to_yamlet(x, ...)

length-one character
