File_control and comment about MPI-IO type constructors

1. I was looking over the type constructor functions associated
with MPI-IO and have the following comment. It appears that
MPI_Type_subarray assumes that the start of the array is at
zero in C and one in Fortran, but no statement of this fact
appears in the description. This should be made clear in the
specification.
2. I also looked at File_control and it would appear from the
specification that it is possible to change the file name and
communicator associated with a file handle. I doubt this would be
desirable or possible. I know that some other facility will be replacing
File_control, but I thought I would still make the comment.
Sincerely,
John Wilson
