Description
**- Do you want to request a *feature* or report a *bug*?**
Feature
**- What is the current behavior?**
it seems to be impossible to create data files with a list at root level:
```yaml
- nav_object_1
- nav_object_2
```
The current work-around is to use
```yaml
navigation:
- nav_object_1
- nav_object_2
```
However, this may require a change of the template that may be part of libraries (jekyll theme gems).
**- What is the expected behavior?**
I can just create lists also on root level.
