Exactly. However, we should be careful about what we are adding here. A strided interface is a very specific special case that applies to regular problems. There is a bready of MPI derived datatype capabilities that are not covered by a simple stride. What are the objectives for covering datatypes? Is the IOVEC interface the right place to glue in the first handling of a special case of datatypes?
