Can you explain how? The presence/absence of quotes around this value yields no difference:

```ruby
[2] pry(main)> YAML::load("env:\n DISCOURSE_BASE_URL: 'https://discourse.example.com'")
=> {"env"=>{"DISCOURSE_BASE_URL"=>"https://discourse.example.com"}}

[3] pry(main)> YAML::load("env:\n DISCOURSE_BASE_URL: https://discourse.example.com")
=> {"env"=>{"DISCOURSE_BASE_URL"=>"https://discourse.example.com"}}

```
