[Mpi-forum] \MPIreplace and verbatim blocks

[William Gropp]

This is an example of why I would have preferred for MPI-3 to be a new  
document.  There is really no way to do this, because it is changing  
the basic structure of the document (adding sections or even chapters  
is ok, changing levels is not).  The change macros can only be used to  
mark changes to the text.

What I could provide is a way to allow you to describe the old state,  
rather than running the commands from the prior version.  However, I  
don't see much value in that.  Instead, I'd use the approach in the  
RMA chapter for the moved examples - simply describe what has changed  
and leave it at that.
