[MPIWG Fortran] Deprecated functions in F08

[Junchao Zhang]

Line 12, Page 599 of MPI 3.0 reads:
Only one Fortran interface is defined for functions that are deprecated as
of
MPI-3.0. This interface must be provided as an explicit interface according
to
the rules defined for the mpi module, see Section 17.1.3 on page 601.

Can I put it as: In a mpi_f08 module, if one uses the deprecated functions,
he should get compilation errors, since the Standard does not define
interfaces for them.  He can either upgrade them to new functions, or uses
mpi module instead.
Does it also mean the mpi module is mandatory partner for F08 binding,
since it says, "This interface must be provided ..."


Thanks.
