In LTLA/DelayedArraySaver: Save Delayed Operations to a HDF5 File

#' Saving a ConstantArraySeed
#'
#' Save a \linkS4class{ConstantArraySeed} object.
#' See the \dQuote{Constant array} section at \url{https://artifactdb.github.io/chihaya/} for more details.
#'
#' @param x A \linkS4class{ConstantArraySeed} object.
#' @param file String containing the path to a HDF5 file.
#' @param name String containing the name of the group to save into.
#'
#' @return A \code{NULL}, invisibly.
#' A group is created at \code{name} containing the contents of the ConstantArraySeed.
