Description

The Cas Compare does complex, time consuming logic when comparing structures that reference others.  One extensive use of this happens with uima lists (the list nodes reference the following one).

Add an optional step in the compare that finds all the linear lists, makes equivalent UIMA array objects for them, and removes the list elements from the compare operation.
