[MPI3 Fortran] Proposed solution for the volatile buffer problem

But the converse, requiring every procedure that calls MPI_Irecv to be 
flagged, seems even worse (not good for performance and horrible to the 
programmer). Good argument against the idea of a procedure attribute it 
would seem.

OK, that's a good point in argument of explicitly marking variables that 
get changed behind the scenes instead of relying on some form of 
implicit assumptions.
