Description
Having included `ruamel.yaml`, now the round trip parsing and edition of yaml is possible so this task should be doable with something like:
```
cpm install --save :
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the CLI handling for `cpm install` and the project descriptor parsing that uses `ruamel.yaml`. Trace how dependencies are currently installed and how the descriptor is loaded and written. Done means `cpm install --save :` adds the requested bit and preserves the descriptor's YAML content.
