>>  * 17.11: Window creation operations match semantics of communicator creation.
>>  * 17.12.2: File_open/close match semantics of communicator creation.
>>  * A.1.1: Added the MPI_FAILHANDLER_MODE_*'s to the appendix
>>
>> Open Discussion Items:

>>  * 17.6: Rename MPI_Comm_reenable_any_source to *_validate_* (?)
