Check-yaml exception for Ansible Vault

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’ve recently used the embed encrypt variables in my Ansible repos, and the check-yaml hook is failing because of the specific !vault usage.

Check Yaml...............................................................Failed
hookid: check-yaml

could not determine a constructor for the tag '!vault'
  in "inventories/group_vars/all.yml", line 62, column 13

Do you think it’s possible to add this as an exception inside the hook (and make it pass for everyone who’s using encypted variables in their playbooks) ?

Or should I add explicit exception inside my .pre-commit-config.yaml, for each files where I use those encrypted variables ?
