Class
    Foam::messageStream

Description
    Handle output messages in a simple, consistent stream-based manner.

    The messageStream class is globally instantiated with a title
    string and a severity (which controls the program termination),
    optionally with a max number of errors before termination.

    Errors, messages and other data are sent to the messageStream class in
    the standard manner.

    For parallel applications, the output for 'standard' messages
    (Info, Warnings) is effectively suppressed on all sub-processes,
    which results in a single output message instead of a flood of output
    messages from each process.  The error type of messages do, however,
    retain output on all processes, which ensures that parallel termination
    occurs correctly and the source of the problem is properly traceable to
    the originating processor.
