  My hope is eventually to provide a way for users to register all the “data times” (auxiliary vectors, meshes, …)  that need to be stored at the end and then have TSLoad be able to mange loading everything back up and transparently continuing the TS time stepping.

  If you have want to try the TSView() and TSLoad() for binary viewers in master I can provide guidance. It is in src/ts/examples/tutorials/ex28.c in the master branch.
