[Mpi-forum] Communicator info arguments

[Jeff Hammond]

>From MPI-3 6.4.2 (MPI_COMM_DUP):

"MPI_COMM_DUP duplicates the existing communicator comm with the
associated key values, topology information and info hints."

"MPI_COMM_DUP_WITH_INFO behaves exactly as MPI_COMM_DUP except that
the info hints associated with the communicator comm are not
duplicated in newcomm.  The hints provided by the arguments info are
associated with the output communicator newcomm instead."
