Single quoted string output is not consistent with input about go-yaml HOT 4 OPEN

I think it is good to offer it as an option. For example

package yaml

type QuoteStyle int

const (
  SingleQuoteStyle QuoteStyle = iota
  DoubleQuoteStyle 
)

func QuoteForEscape(style QuoteStyle) EncodeOption

from go-yaml.

First, go-yaml outputs double quotes by default.
If once you decode by yaml.Unmarshal to string value,
there is no way to know whether the original string was a single quote or a double quote.
Therefore, this behavior is intended.

If you want to avoid this behavior, you can do so by using ast.Node API.

Would it be possible for this to be an encoding option?

This would be a great addition for me, thanks!
