    "constant/boundaryRegion" is an IOMap<dictionary> that contains
    the boundary type and names. eg,
    \verbatim
        (
            0
            {
                BoundaryType    wall;

            }

                BoundaryType    inlet;
                Label           inlet_1;
            }

            ...
