My point is how can one use MPI_Start to start a nonpersistent
request, when one does not have a "request" handle associated with a
nonpersistent request to pass to MPI_Start?

The issue of extra_state is a separate one.
Once you agree that a separate function is needed for nonpersistent
requests, I claim that extra_state must be passed to this function.
