// Limitations:
// - either start or edge of any feature line has to be inside domain
// and be visible from keepPoint on starting mesh.
// - refining cells containing features is separate phase before refining
// based on surface.
// - no load balancing, no check for cellLimit is done while doing this.
// Specifies a level for any cell intersected by its edges.
// This is a featureEdgeMesh, read from constant/triSurface for now.

// Internal Mesh Refinement
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// Specifies the areas where the refinement has to be a certain level.
// These surfaces have to be closed. Refinement is either inside
// (refineInside = true) or outside. (note:insideness or outsideness
// is with respect to far away)
// Note:that even using these the transition can never be faster than
// nBufferLayers!
// Note:the refinement level can never be higher than any of the surfaces
// they overlap with. See below for the surface refinement level specification.

// every cell intersecting a surface gets refined up to the minimum level.

// angle > resolveFeatureAngle get refined up to the maximum level.
// Overall the refinement is according to the following rules:
// - if the cell-cell vector intersects a surface any cell that
// is less refined than the minRefinementLevel of the surface gets refined.
// - else if the refinement level of the cell is between the
// minRefinementLevel and maxRefinementLevel the cell gets refined if
// - the normal of neighbouring surface intersections differ by more
// than above curvature
// - or if neighbouring surface intersections are on different surfaces or
// different surface regions.
