balupton/cson.npm — Issue #6: coffee-script issues

so in theory your example should actually be able to be written as

abc:
'a'
'b'
'c'

a:
b: 'c'

but that will get you the always helpful "unexpected 'terminator'" error
this is a [known issue](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6144864/coffeescript-assoc-array-syntax-in-a-list-comprehension) apparently, but it would seem that properly made cson would end up being a lot like yaml but with a bit more structure
