CAS APIs should make it easier to deal with arrays of unknown element type

                 Key: UIMA-301
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-301
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Core Java Framework
            Reporter: Adam Lally
         Assigned To: Thilo Goetz
            Priority: Minor


There are several places in tools where we need to display the contents of an 
FS, which could be an array.  Currently we have to iterate over all possible 
primivie-typed arrays in order to access and display their elements.

What would have been nice is a common superinterface of all the
primitive array types, which defines a toStringArray() method. The
toStringArray() methods are already there on the impls, but there's no
superinterface that I can use to get at them.

See UIMA-40 and UIMA-77.
