Page 5, line 33: MPI_ICOMM_GET_ANME looks like an interesting function name but
my guess is that it's just a typo.
MPI_TYPE_ENVELOPE: Assuming that MPI_TYPE_INDEXED_BLOCK() survives the next two
meetings, we'll need to add a MPI_INDEXED_BLOCK constant.
MPI_REQUEST_TYPE: A very poor name. Makes me think that it returns the
MPI_Datatype associated with a request.
MPI_DATATYPE_*: Even though the proper name of the object is MPI_Datatype, all
of the MPI-1 routines just use TYPE in their names instead of DATATYPE. So I
would suggest that we follow that convention here.
Regarding the comments about MPI_TYPE_COMMIT on the last page: I believe that
the current text is as it should be, but I have a related question: Are there
implementations out there which really do perform non-trivial optimizations
when they commit datatypes? Could we get away with deprecating MPI_TYPE_COMMIT?
