                 Deprecate the DumperOptions.calculateScalarStyle() method because it was introduced as a quick
                 fix for issue 29. Now it should not be required at all (because of the fix for issue 66),
                 or it should be implemented in the Representer (in RepresentString) (2011-10-10)
