/** @brief Standard Library-compliant allocator for the MPI-2 memory
 *  allocation routines.
 *
 *  This allocator provides a standard C++ interface to the @c
 *  MPI_Alloc_mem and @c MPI_Free_mem routines of MPI-2. It is
 *  intended to be used with the containers in the Standard Library
 *  (@c vector, in particular) in cases where the contents of the
 *  container will be directly transmitted via MPI. This allocator is
 *  also used internally by the library for character buffers that
 *  will be used in the transmission of data.
 *
 *  The @c allocator class template only provides MPI memory
 *  allocation when the underlying MPI implementation is either MPI-2
 *  compliant or is known to provide @c MPI_Alloc_mem and @c
 *  MPI_Free_mem as extensions. When the MPI memory allocation
 *  routines are not available, @c allocator is brought in directly
 *  from namespace @c std, so that standard allocators are used
 *  throughout. The macro @c BOOST_MPI_HAS_MEMORY_ALLOCATION will be
 *  defined when the MPI-2 memory allocation facilities are available.
