Boost.MPI builds upon your native MPI implementation and offers some
high-level functionality like sending serializable data structures,
skeleton/body sends/recieves, and things along those lines.

It in no way replaces the underlying MPI API, it just augments it.

If you need to call a particular regular MPI function, just call it like
you would normally do.
