Description

Create a new CasIOUtils class having common load and save APIs, with optional saving of type system and index definitions, in all the various CAS serialization formats (except JSON). Implement heuristic discovery for deserialization to support automatic selection of the right kind of deserializer. Update the headers for binary to support indicating they have the type system included (not used yet). Update the SerialFormat to support this. Update the CasEditor and other components to use this new API.
