Multiline reformatted during merge #313

During a merge, a multiline element is reformatted as a string with newline characters '\n'. Below is a snippet of the before and after. I'm wondering if there is a way to avoid this reformatting.

Just as an observation, the new Go YAML library version 3 stores the flow style now. This could help with scenarios like the one mentioned here to keep the style when marshaling the result YAML.
