These two issues are completely orthogonal.
On one side, MPI_LOGICALx is not defined by the MPI standard but it is
supported by several others MPI libraries and as it match a C type it
is easy to implement.
On the other side, MPI_COMPLEX4 is defined by the MPI standard as an
optional datatype (MPI 2.2 page 451) which doesn't make it mandatory
(sic!), is supported by few others MPI libraries but as it doesn't
match any C type it is really difficult to implement.
As far as I'm concerned the current behavior is correct, and there is
no need to change it.

Jeff, about ticket #2032 ...
I was not asking you to eliminate MPI_LOGICALx, just asked for
MPI_COMPLEX4 to be added...
If you still think the MPI_LOGICALx should be removed from Open MPI,
what about rename the macros to OMPI_LOGICALx ? IMHO, the MPI_LOGICALx
(provided that Fortran compilers do support them) are an omission in
the 2.2 standard.

Provided that:
1) Open MPI exposes MPI_LOGICAL{1|2|4|8}, and they are not (AFAIK)
listed in the MPI standard (I cannot found them in MPI-2.2)
2) The MPI-2.2 standard DO list MPI COMPLEX4 (at least in 2.2) ...
would it make sense that you add MPI_COMPLEX4 support ASAP, even
before full MPI-2.2 support?
