YAML is a useful way to add data that could potentially repeat a lot in a single website, an example of this is team members, or post authors.

Right now you can only add this data into the `_config.yml` file. While this works, it can become very unwieldy to have large pieces of data inside this one file.

My suggestion is to have a directive such as `additional_configs` inside _config.yml which can take an array of YML files which are all read and loaded as variables. Alternatively a `_configs` directory could exist; Jekyll could then read `_config.yml` and `_configs/*.yml`.
