[MPI3 Fortran] MPI function symbol naming convention for tools

I would request that any names NOT include text that refers to a specific version of the Fortran standard.  The industry already made that mistake once with the .f90 file type meaning "free-form source" - I don't want to see the mistake repeated. Maybe "fdesc" can be used, or something else that has the right connotation without implying some specific standard revision.
