Is there a way to change maxFlowStringSingleLineLength ?

Hello 👋 Thank you for publishing this great library.

I have a small question:

I am trying to read-modify-write some existing YAML files without generating a giant diff, and would like to change Collection.maxFlowStringSingleLineLength from its hard-coded value of 60 to a larger number:

https://github.com/eemeli/yaml/blob/master/src/nodes/Collection.ts#L43

Is it possible to do this from user code?

Thank you.

The intent was for this to be externally accessible, but it certainly doesn't look like it currently is.

I found a way, but it's not at all obvious:

import { YAMLMap } from 'yaml'

Object.getPrototypeOf(YAMLMap).maxFlowStringSingleLineLength

Given that this is technically possible already now without API changes, I'm going to close this as wontfix for now, but I'm open to reconsidering that if this turns out to be of interest to other users.

Thank you so much! This does exactly what I was hoping. Thank you for looking into this so quickly and for providing this suggestion. I would have never come up with that 🤣 Thanks again!
