ability to split yaml documents into specific output files

[m0un10]

I understand that ytt was designed very much with the idea of piping to k8s in mind. That said, I am really finding it useful for generating any yaml documents that are written to the file system. I would really love it if there was a way to output to specific files. The output-files does a good job of creating separate files that match the input files. However, it won't create separate files for each document (split by ---). I was considering to build a tool that takes piped yaml and looks for --- and then uses metadata to determine where the files should be written to. Is this something you would ever want to be able to do in ytt or would I be better to look at creating a new tool that works alongside ytt for this specific use case?

The benefit of something like this is it would allow me to model all the data in YTT data/values even if there is a for loop to create multiple documents. Without something like this, it just means that the primary data source shifts outside YTT and there is a bash scripts with it's own data and loops that calls YTT rather than a single YTT call that does everything.

You could compose it with yq's ability to split documents into files.
