- for more clarity, make read/write of rpm and mean-diameter contingent
  on nonDimensional == true

- write finiteArea meshes and fields to standard surface output
  formats (Ensight, VTK, etc).

- less used bookkeeping/convenience methods that may be phased out
  in the future

- instead of deciding beforehand if a surface format requires a separate
  geometry file (or if a geometry file should be written if no fields were
  written) now determine afterwards if something was written.

  This improves the overall reliability (consistency) and is more
  convenient for the caller as well.

- PtrDynList support for move append list:
  can be used to concatenate pointer lists into a single one

- include resize in PtrDynList squeezeNull as being a natural
  combination

- support sorting operations for pointer lists (PtrListOps)

- comparison operator, for sorting based on the position of the origin.

- allow modification of the origin.

- zero-initialise for null constructor: base components are vectors
  and cheap to initialise.

- 'unfriend' the output operator: it uses public access methods

- considered an error by the PGI compiler

- remove writeGeometry() in favour of write() and make it pure virtual
  so that all writers must explicitly deal with it.

- establish proxy extension at construction time and treated as an
  invariant thereafter. This avoids potentially surprising changes in
  behaviour when writing.

- incorrectly uses paraview include dirs instead of the more universal
  vtk include dirs for the MPI test.

- reduces output size, consistent with vtkWrite function object

STYLE: mark some foamToVTK options as advanced (ie, visible with -help-full)

- with -mcpu=native for automatic detection and -armpl for linking in
  the performance libraries

- also store empty sampled surfaces, otherwise we miss geometry updates.

- the automatic rounding avoids generation of negative zero values.
  For other exponent values it has no effect.

ENH: DEShybrid - added robustness for case that nuEff goes negative (typically from negative denisty in compressible cals).  See #1224

Also implements combination of -region and -dry-run

- had different spacing depending if defined from faces or shapes

- reinstates commit f7413b27 from history repository

- this is a simple container for fields with i-j-k addressing.

  It does not support field operations directly, but is primarily
  intended to be used when assembling field information with i-j-k
  logic. After assembly, the field can be transferred to a regular
  field for normal operations.  Eg,

      IjkField<scalar> assemble({15, 16, 200});

      // .. fill in i-j-k fields

      Field<scalar> final(std::move(assemble));
      assemble.clear();   // be pedantic
      ...

- While a rectilinear mesh can be created with blockMesh, not every mesh
  created with blockMesh will satisfy the requirements for being a
  rectilinear mesh.

  This alternative to blockMesh uses a single block that is aligned
  with the xy-z directions and specifications of the control points,
  mesh divisions and expansion ratios. For example,

    x
    {
        points  ( -13.28 -0.10 6.0 19.19 );
        nCells  (  10  12 10 );
        ratios  ( 0.2   1  5 );
    }

    y { ... }
    z { ... }

  With only one block, the boundary patch definition is simple and the
  canonical face number is used directly. For example,

    inlet
    {
        type    patch;
        faces   ( 0 );
    }
    outlet
    {
        type    patch;
        faces   ( 1 );
    }

    sides
    {
        type    patch;
        faces   ( 2 3 );
    }

    ...

- After a mesh is defined, it is trivial to retrieve mesh-related
  information such as cell-volume, cell-centres for any i-j-k location
  without an actual polyMesh.

STYLE: remove -noFunctionObjects from blockMesh

- no time loop, so function objects cannot be triggered anyhow.

- can be useful for 2D mesh dimensioning or possibly for matrices

- PtrList::release() method.

  Similar to autoPtr and unique_ptr and clearer in purpose than
  using set(i,nullptr)

- Construct from List of pointers, taking ownership.

  Useful when upgrading code. Eg,

     List<polyPatch*> oldList = ...;
     PtrList<polyPatch> newList(oldList);
     ...

BUG: incorrect resizing method names (PtrDynList) in previously unused code

- this functionality was originally added to allow sampling of volume
  fields onto a surface in order to perform calculations on them.

  However, the sampling framework essentially mirrored the
  sampledSurface, but was less complete.

  It is now possible to store sampled surfaces on a registry and
  do calculation with their fields. This is the preferred method,
  and thus removing the surfMeshSample duplicate code.
