I'm cc'ing Mathieu Westphal on this, as I think he's the one doing
OpenFOAM work these days. I'm not actively working on OpenFOAM related
projects anymore, and don't really have much familiarity with the
format aside from a few one-off fixes. As such, I don't really feel
comfortable making any decisions for a rewrite of this reader. I
support the decision to clean it up, but don't really have any free
cycles to spend working on it.

I think there are a few other contributors that work with this format,
so starting a discussion thread on the mailing list to gauge support
would be a good first step, I think.

Cheers,
Dave
