Typedef
    Foam::typeInfo

Description
    Basic run-time type information using word as the type's name.
    Used to enhance the standard RTTI to cover I/O.

    The user can get the type's type name using the type info access function
    \code
        type()
    \endcode

    The reference type cast template function:
    \code
        refCast<Type>(r)
    \endcode
    wraps dynamic_cast to handle failed casts and generate a FatalError.

    The isA function:
    \code
        isA<Type>(obj)
    \endcode
    returns const pointer to the cast object, nullptr if cast is not possible
    (can be tested as a bool).
