Adding a keepData option to formats. If true, formats will be given a reference to the parsed data (named data) after a read. Use this when you need to access part of the structure that was not extracted in creating features (for example). Note that for versioned parsers, the data property is available on format.parser.data. Thanks for the patch sky. r=me (closes #1753)
