Description

One of the main uses of supertype information is to allow iterating over types and their subtypes. This requires some restructuring of the information serialized because the direction is reverse (subtype -> supertype) from the expected use pattern. Investigate reversing the serialized type info. Also, consider having these names be the name-space style names, instead of the fully-qualified names, for consistency.
