Class
    Foam::dictionary
 
Description
    A list of keyword definitions, which are a keyword followed by any number
    of values (e.g. words and numbers). The keywords can represent patterns
    which are matched using Posix regular expressions. The general order for
    searching is as follows:
    - exact match
    - pattern match (in reverse order)
    - optional recursion into the enclosing (parent) dictionaries
 
    The dictionary class is the base class for IOdictionary.
    It also serves as a bootstrap dictionary for the objectRegistry data
    dictionaries since, unlike the IOdictionary class, it does not use an
    objectRegistry itself to work.
 
    To add - a merge() member function with a non-const dictionary parameter?
    This would avoid unnecessary cloning in the add(entry*, bool) method.
