+Class
+    Foam::globalProcPointIndex
+
+Description
+    The class creates a unique global point index for each processor points
+    (pair) in the mesh. Master and slave processor points carry the same index.
+
+    Point offsets counts a number of unique points on each processor,
+    excluding slave processor patch points and global points.
+
+    Currently, faces are ordered with internal faces first, followed by patch
+    faces in patch order, excluding slave processor patches.
+    If needed, this can be changed to group processor faces with internal faces
+    to facilitate parallel I/O.  HJ, 4/May/2018
