I make do with the current implementation, but it is a bit brittle and
I would prefer the implementation you describe.  I suspect the history
comes from regarding MPI as `just another library' in which case
wrapper compilers are not desirable since you can't combine wrappers.
Some will surely disagree, but I'm happy to give MPI special priority.
