Allow base types to be loaded when serialized as a complex type

Consider the following type.
struct Color
{
public byte r;
public byte g;
public byte b;
}
If we save it as SUCC, it will look something like this:
color:
r: 120
g: 142
b: 69
Now suppose later we make Color
a base type, saving and loading it as a hex code:
color: 788e45
At this point, SUCC will be unable to load the first example, as base types must ALWAYS be saved and loaded as their single-line value.
Proposal: if SUCC tries to load a node as a base type, and that node has child nodes, SUCC should treat the base type as a complex type.

Also: if a node has a value and no children, but it fails to load as a base type, try loading it using complex type shortcuts.

Added this feature in 97b6974 :D not sure why it didn't automatically close the issue.
