// The topoSetDict comprises a list of actions to perform on different
// set types (cellSet, faceSet, pointSet, etc).
//
// Each action is a dictionary with e.g.
//     // Name of set
//     name    c0;
//
//     // type: pointSet/faceSet/cellSet/faceZoneSet/cellZoneSet
//     type    cellSet;
//
//     // action to perform on set. Two types:
//     // - require no source : clear/invert/remove
//     //       clear  : clears set or zone
//     //       invert : select all currently non-selected elements
//     //       remove : removes set or zone
//     // - require source    : new/add/subtract/subset
//     //       new    : create new set or zone from source
//     //       add    : add source to contents
//     //       subtract : subtract source from contents
//     //       subset : keeps elements both in contents and source
//     action  new;
//
// The source entry varies according to the type of set.
//
// In OpenFOAM 1806 and earlier, it was compulsory to use a 'sourceInfo'
// sub-dictionary to define the sources.
// In OpenFOAM 1812 and later, this sub-directory is optional, unless
// there would be a name clash (Eg, 'type' or 'name' appearing at both levels).
// In most cases, the source definitions have been adjusted to avoid such
// clashes.
