error when backticks are used in YAML file

Would appear this is a limitation of YAML
http://yaml.org/spec/1.1/#id870830

Do we want to support this? Do we want to use YAML explicitly?

[DDAZZA]

We should probably return a better error message at least.

I think #1 covers that already, doesn't it?

[adamgeorgeson]

You're right @wteuber. Happy to close this as a dupe.
