I'm afraid I don't get your point.  MPI is what it is.  Boost.MPI is
cool because it makes MPI easier and makes getting the best out of MPI
practical.  If you want something other than what MPI itself offers,
you're speaking to the wrong people about coolness improvements.  You
need to talk to the MPI people.
