Summary0002350: Creating a field that is cache-able with postProcess fails
DescriptionThe "grad(U)" function for postProcess throws out warnings when it attempts to calculate for more than one time directory, e.g.

Executing functionObjects
--> FOAM Warning :
    From function bool Foam::functionObjects::regionFunctionObject::store(Foam::word&, const Foam::tmp<T>&, bool) [with ObjectType = Foam::GeometricField<Foam::Tensor<double>, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh>]
    in file /home/ubuntu/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.1/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/regionFunctionObjectTemplates.C at line 61
    Cannot store cache-able field with the named used in the cache.
    Either choose a different name or cache the field and use the 'writeObjects' functionObject.

Currently the 'grad' functionObject can only be used if the result is explicitly named differently to the default due to interference between the caching of gradients and the post-processing fields.

I am testing a work-around for this in OpenFOAM-dev.

This issue should be resolved by commit c0a950c5c678b4a47e749a201527fc566f849be8 in OpenFOAM-dev but more testing is needed befor committing it to OpenFOAM-4.x.
