Nondestructive editing tries to preserve as much as possible of the existing
structure, while allowing the document to be modified in place.
**This project is as of yet, incomplete!**

## Examples
```rust
use anyhow::Context;
use nondestructive::yaml;
let mut doc = yaml::from_slice(
r#"
name: Descartes
country: Grece
"#
)?;
let mapping = doc.root().as_mapping().context("missing mapping")?;
let name = mapping.get("name").context("missing name")?;
assert_eq!(name.as_str(), Some("Descartes"));
let mut mapping = doc.root_mut().into_mapping_mut().context("missing mapping")?;
let mut name = mapping.get_mut("name").context("missing name")?;
name.set_string("Plato");
let mut country = mapping.get_mut("country").context("missing country")?;
country.set_string("Greece");
assert_eq!(
doc.to_string(),
r#"
name: Plato
country: Greece
