Describe the Enhancement

The pull request dtcenter/MET#1892 for issue dtcenter/MET#1788 adds a new STAT line type that is created by Stat-Analysis. The SSIDX line type is documented in the Stat-Analysis MET User's Guide chapter on the feature branch. After that PR is approved/merged, please see the develop branch instead.

Please ask @JohnHalleyGotway any questions about how to handle the data.

A sample data file is provided here:
ssidx_sample.tar.gz

One file with FCST_VAR = OBS_VAR = GO_INDEX.
One file with FCST_VAR = OBS_VAR = SS_INDEX.
Another option is CBS_INDEX but no example is provided here.
Note that strings in the header columns can get long. For example, MODEL = fcst model name, reference model name. By default, when multiple strings are encountered in the input, their unique values are written to the output as a comma-separated list.
