[MOAB-dev] getEverything?

[Rajeev Jain]

Very often we repeat the "get" functions for various types of operations, do you 
think it would be useful to have a function 'getEverything' in MOAB/iMesh 
(iMesh_getEverything) ?
Basically, getting *only* the building blocks of the mesh model:

Input: root_set

Output: 
1. Nodes (Node number and co-ordinates)
2. Elements (Element number and connectivity) --- would need rules for 
connectivity definition.
3. Sets (Set number, tag, tag value and contents associated with this set)

There is a function iMesh_getStructure - defined in MeshKit: 
http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/fathom/browser/MeshKit/trunk/algs/CopyUtils.hpp

This gets "the entities and unique adjacent vertices of a set", should this be 
changed to get the complete building block/structure of the mesh file.
