    ENH: additional methods/operators for boundBox (related to #196) · 722d23f5
    Mark Olesen authored
    - Constructor for bounding box of a single point.
    
    - add(boundBox), add(point) ...
      -> Extend box to enclose the second box or point(s).
    
      Eg,
          bb.add(pt);
      vs.
          bb.min() = Foam::min(bb.min(), pt);
          bb.max() = Foam::max(bb.max(), pt);
    
    Also works with other bounding boxes.
      Eg,
          bb.add(bb2);
          // OR
          bb += bb2;
      vs.
          bb.min() = Foam::min(bb.min(), bb2.min());
          bb.max() = Foam::max(bb.max(), bb2.max());
    
    '+=' operator allows the reduction to be used in parallel
    gather/scatter operations.
    
    A global '+' operator is not currently needed.
    
    Note: may be useful in the future to have a 'clear()' method
    that resets to a zero-sized (inverted) box.
    
    STYLE: make many bounding box constructors explicit
