[mpiwg-tools] proposed text

[Kathryn Mohror]

I'm a bit lost on the intended meaning behind the name: <foo> strings.

Do you want <foo> strings to indicate all strings in the MPI tool
information interface that are by our definition in 14.3.3 treated
differently than in the rest of the standard? And then have a concept of
identical <foo> strings and specify what is returned in the user's buffer
for identical <foo> strings?


Or is <foo> strings supposed to only indicate strings that if identical,
have a particular defined behavior that determine what is returned into
the user's buffer according to our string conventions in 14.3.3?

Thanks,
Kathryn
