Yes, it shouldn't be hard for you to migrate to (2) in the future. 

Currently, the parser is stateless, but, as there's now a class,
IMO the best would be to store the lines as an array of tuples
inside the YnlDocGenerator class, like this:

	self.lines = [
		(line_number1, message_string1),
		(line_number2, message_string2),
		(line_number3, message_string3),
		(line_number4, message_string4),
		...
	]

This way, the parse_yaml_file() method would just return self.lines.

Thanks,
