Description

When running cas compares with large CASs (e.g. 200 MB xmi serialized size), it can take a while to do many operations.  Allow setting a global static value in the CasCompare to turn on various progress indicators.

Also, add a pre-compare operation to sort and dedup (remove duplicates) for FSArrays.
