Milestone:  To Be Determined     |   Component:  mpi    
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0         |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  documentation        |

 The documentation for `packed_iarchive` says:
  ...is an Archiver (as in the Boost.Serialization library) that packs
 binary data into a buffer for transmission via MPI.

 Whereas `packed_oarchive`:
  is an Archiver (as in the Boost.Serialization library) that unpacks
 binary data from a buffer received via MPI.

 IMO the descriptions should be interchanged, as `iarchive` unpacks and
 `oarchive` packs. The same applies to other comments in their headers.
 `packed_iprimitive.hpp` is ok.
