Abbreviated bool values are not parsed as Boolean

[Basil Peace]

According to https://yaml.org/type/bool.html, boolean

\> may be abbreviated as a single character “y”/“n” or “Y”/“N”

However, this doesn’t work.

import org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml

String x = '''\
b: y
'''.stripIndent()
Yaml yaml = new Yaml()
m = yaml.load(x)
println m['b'].class

gives java.lang.String, not Boolean.
