[MPIWG Fortran] Another MPI_SIZEOF question

Because the current Fortran standard includes (almost all of) the features in previous standards, trying to identify differences based on old standard names is much less precise.

Sure, but 'mpif' doesn't indicate that it requires certain MPI
features when used in conjunction with a Fortran compiler that lacks
one or more F08 features.

If someone was silly enough to use mpif+f08, they wouldn't need
MPI_SIZEOF.  I am trying to come up with a term that denotes
mpif+pre-F08.  Will I be permitted to say mpif+f90 to indicate the
oldest variant of MPI Fortran support?
