If we don't provide C++ bindings for new MPI 3.0 functionality, we should remove them from MPI 3.0.  They can still be supported via MPI 2.2 compliance.

        Anything to discuss about const buffers?

        I've got someone working on extensions to the datatype construction routines, creating a use case/justification for why we should add those routines to 3.0.  Adam Moody was going to create a ticket for those, once I give him this use case document.  [Dunno if we need to talk about anything yet on this though]
