      Yes, using custom tags. Example in Python, making the !join tag join strings in an array:
      syntax extensions extension to standard extensibility easily extensible with plugins/extensions YAML: anchors YAML

      Not merge the values of the keys.

      This is one of the biggest limatations of <<: *anchor: it overwrites values of keys. It's too heavy-handed and therefore of limited use. You can only use it if you don't mind keys getting overwritten (such as if you are going to overwrite the keys below the <<:.).

      GitLab will perform a reverse deep merge based on the keys

      It’s an alternative to using YAML anchors and is a little more flexible and readable
