- consolidate word::validated() into word::validate() and also allow
as short form for string::validate<word>(). Also less confusing than
having similarly named methods that essentially do the same thing.
- more consistent const access when iterating over strings
- add valid(char) for keyType and wordRe
- polyMesh constructor from cell shapes invoked 'removeFiles'.
This may or may not be what the caller wants or expects.
With the ParaView blockMesh viewer, this behaviour causes deletion of
all mesh data (points, faces, etc) when the viewer is refreshed.
Triggered even when just building the blockMesh topology.
- only a few places that construct a polyMesh from cell shapes
(mostly mesh conversion utilities).
Ensure that the file removal (if any) occurs in the application
and *not* as a side-effect of calling the polyMesh constructor.

blockMesh (application)
- The placement of the removeFiles seems to also remove freshly
generated sets (Bug or feature to remove sets?)

- can use 'XX.empty()' instead of 'XX.size() == 0', 'XX.size() < 1' or
'XX.size() <= 0' or for simpler coding.
It also has the same number of characters as '!XX.size()' and /might/ be
more readable
- many size checking had 'XX.size() > 0', 'XX.size() != 0', or 'XX.size() >= 1'
when a simple 'XX.size()' suffices
