New user question about serialization.  I would like to serialize my CAS 
to disk and then later on, with a new program/invocation/whatever, I'd 
like to deserialize the CAS and work with it.  When I do just normal 
serialization/deserialization I appear to be losing a lot of types from 
the typesystem (provided I am doing lenient deserialization), which 
results in a very empty CAS.  I want exactly the same CAS as what I 
serialized out..  It looked like I was able to successfully 
serialize/deserialize when I used an XmiSerializationSharedData object 
between serialize/deserialize.  However, if I want to do the 
deserialization in an different program/invocation/whatever from where I 
did the serialization, how do I preserve the XmiSerializationSharedData 
object that allows me to pick up all the types that I originally 
serialized out.   Ie. do I have to somehow preserve/serialize the 
shareddata object (which seems silly and also not doable because it is not 
a serializable object).  I'm sure there must be a straightforward way to 
do this.  Anyone have an answer, or better yet, a good example?  Thanks.
