-// This application/dictionary controls:
-// - optional: create new patches from boundary faces (either given as
-//   a set of patches or as a faceSet)
-// - always: order faces on coupled patches such that they are opposite. This
-//   is done for all coupled faces, not just for any patches created.
-// - optional: synchronise points on coupled patches.
-// - always: remove zero-sized (non-coupled) patches (that were not added)
-
-// 1. Create cyclic:
-// - specify where the faces should come from
-// - specify the type of cyclic. If a rotational specify the rotationAxis
-//   and centre to make matching easier
-// - always create both halves in one invocation with correct 'neighbourPatch'
-//   setting.
-// - optionally pointSync true to guarantee points to line up.
-
-// 2. Correct incorrect cyclic:
-// This will usually fail upon loading:
-//  "face 0 area does not match neighbour 2 by 0.0100005%"
-//  " -- possible face ordering problem."
-// - in polyMesh/boundary file:
-//      - loosen matchTolerance of all cyclics to get case to load
-//      - or change patch type from 'cyclic' to 'patch'
-//        and regenerate cyclic as above
-
-// Do a synchronisation of coupled points after creation of any patches.
-// Note: this does not work with points that are on multiple coupled patches
-//       with transformations (i.e. cyclics).
