Add option to get a value?

I'd really like to see an option that outputs a list of subkeys of a key, or the value of a (sub)key.
For a yaml file that looks like this:
`root:
elem1:
something: 'value`'
otherthing: 'value'
elem2:
something: 'value'
I'd like to be able to call
yaml_cli -g root <== outputs "elem1 elem2"
yaml_cli -g root:elem1 <== outputs "something otherthing"
yaml_cli -g root.elem1.something <== outputs "value"
That would allow me to write a shell script like
for i in $(yaml_cli -g root); do yaml_cli -s root:$i:something newval; done
to set all somethings to a value, regardless of which elements exist.
