[MPIWG Fortran] F08 and pair types?

[Craig Rasmusen]

Fortran is a modern language?  Wut...

Actually seems like a simple and good change.  For example, could define:

MPI_REAL_INT and MPI_INTEGER_INT

However, I'm not sure what would be in the structs (user-defined types).
I'll have to ask Squyres what the text following

"The datatype MPI_FLOAT_INT is as if defined by the following sequence of
instructions"

means.
