Turning on check-multi-line-strings results in 10K+ warnings, so no.

The other issue is the style ruamel.yaml wants to write out is as the
patch does above. This matters when doing some scripted
transformations where we read in the files and write them back out. I
can somewhat work around that by first doing a pass with no changes
and then another pass with the actual changes, but that's completely
scriptable. Hopefully, ruamel learns to preserve the style better.
