Parsing key with leading colon

[sconde]

I'm attempting to replace yaml-cpp with rapidyaml in my project.

An example document is like

:foo:
  :bar: a
  :barbar: b
  :barbarbar: c

Although yaml-cpp is able to parse with the leading colon character, rapidyaml is unable to handle this

1:1:ERROR: parse error
1:1: :foo:  (size=5)
     ^~~~~  (cols 1-6)

thanks for reporting

While waiting for a fix, you can work around the issue by quoting the keys.

Notice also this only happens in the first key. Subsequent keys are fine.
