Adds documentation on how to use a key lookup indicator for dealing with keys that have dots when specifying a path as part of create, read, and write commands. Resolves: #22

Yaml files can be created using the 'new' command. This works in the same way as the write command, but you don't pass in an existing Yaml file.
yaml n <path> <new value>
Creating a simple yaml file
yaml n b.c cat
will output:
b:
c: cat
Creating using a create script
Create scripts follow the same format as the update scripts.
Given a script create_instructions.yaml of:
b.c: 3
b.e[0].name: Howdy Partner
then
yaml n -s create_instructions.yaml
will output:
b:
c: 3
e:
- name: Howdy Partner
You can also pipe the instructions in:
cat create_instructions.yaml | yaml n -s -
