Make load safe_load

[sigmavirus24]

• Make yaml.load default to safe
• Add yaml.dangerous_load to replace yaml.load

Can't it just be an option. safe=False. "dangerous" is over stating it.

unsafe_loadperhaps? Optional arguments can get out of hand easily. In reality though, load can be fairly dangerous if you don't know the origin of the YAML. I'm not sure conveying that to the user is a bad thing.

"Dangerous" is over stating it.

Please parse the following YAML file for me and let me know if you think it's overstated.
