- can be used with this type of code:
ITstream* streamPtr = dict.findStream(name);
if (streamPtr)
{
auto& is = *streamPtr;
...
}
versus:
const entry* eptr = dict.findEntry(name);
if (eptr && eptr->isStream())
{
auto& is = eptr->stream();
...
}
ENH: add findStream(), streamPtr(), isStream() to dictionary search
- symmetric with findDict(), dictPtr(), isDict() methods
STYLE: use findDict() instead of found() + subDict() pairing
COMP: define is_globalIOobject trait at top of IOobject header
- more visibility, permits reuse for specializations etc.
