I think this would be a nice addition.  We have the ability to export
to Sunrise, which lives inside an analysis module, and this could be a
good addition in the same vein.  What format does it use?

Perhaps it would belong inside the analysis_modules directory, like
the sunrise_exporter does.  I don't think you'd need to add extensive
documentation, but perhaps a recipe to the yt-doc repository would be
enough (and doc strings).

Thanks very much, and let me know if I can help,

Matt
