Class
    Foam::functionObjects::writeObjectsBase

Description
    FunctionObject base class for writing a list of objects registered to the
    database, on behalf of the inheriting function object, on when those should
    be written to disk.

    FunctionObjects that inherit this class will receive the additional
    dictionary option \c objects which allows selecting which fields of the
    inherited function should be written to disk when \c write() is called.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    <functionObjectName>
    {
        ...
        objects     (obj1 obj2);
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

Usage
    \table
        Property | Description                       | Required | Default value
        objects  | List of objects to be written     | yes      |
    \endtable

    Note: Regular expressions can also be used in \c objects.
