Description
Describe the bug
I added a !<import> custom tag to my yaml.customTags config:
But when I try to use it in a YAML file, i get an "unknown tag" error:
I noticed that if I add an !import custom tag instead of !<import> it just works.
Is there any kind of limitation with using angle brackets? I really can't remove them

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the yaml.customTags configuration with ! and a YAML file that uses the tag. Start by locating the custom-tag validation and parsing entry points; done means angle-bracket tags are accepted without an unknown-tag error, while existing !import behavior remains intact.
