OK, so we agree here.. It is good to have the MPI_LOGICALx despite not
being listed in the standard.

OK, you are right, it is really difficult to implement, at least in
pure-C code... BTW, this also applies to MPI_REAL2, right ? Then...
$ nm /usr/local/openmpi/dev-trunk/lib/libmpi.so | grep real2
000fe0e0 D ompi_mpi_real2
So if you have support for real(kind=2) in "ompi_mpi_real2" ... Do you
still think that it is so hard to support complex(kind=4) ??
Anyway, I see that MPI_REAL2 is never #define'd to &ompi_mpi_real2 .
