readModels doesn't extract residual matrices with invariance testing #95

Hello,

Information for the residual matrices in an Mplus-model with

ANALYSIS:
model = configural metric scalar ; 

is not being extracted. This is a pity because the feature to extract information per group is extremely useful when comparing them. The residual matrix helps me to understand where the model implied covariance structure does not fit in the subsamples.

You can see for yourself with the following statmodel-example:
https://www.statmodel.com/usersguide/chap5/ex5.14.dat
https://www.statmodel.com/usersguide/chap5/ex5.14.inp
Add to the ANALYSIS command the option:
model = configural metric ; ! scalar not needed because of nomeanstructure

After extracting the ex.15.4.out with readModels, the residuals-list is empty
ex.5.14 <- readModels("/yourpath/ex.5.14.out)
ex.5.14$residuals

Would be great to extract that kind of information!
