/**
 * @brief Communication facilities among processes in different
 * groups.
 *
 * The @c intercommunicator class provides communication facilities
 * among processes from different groups. An intercommunicator is
 * always associated with two process groups: one "local" process
 * group, containing the process that initiates an MPI operation
 * (e.g., the sender in a @c send operation), and one "remote" process
 * group, containing the process that is the target of the MPI
 * operation.
 *
 * While intercommunicators have essentially the same point-to-point
 * operations as intracommunicators (the latter communicate only
 * within a single process group), all communication with
 * intercommunicators occurs between the processes in the local group
 * and the processes in the remote group; communication within a group
 * must use a different (intra-)communicator.
 *

   * MPI_COMM_NULL, an empty communicator (that cannot be used for
   * communication) is created and the @p kind parameter is
   * ignored. Otherwise, the @p kind parameter determines how the
   * Boost.MPI communicator will be related to @p comm:
   *
   *   - If @p kind is @c comm_duplicate, duplicate @c comm to create
   *   a new communicator. This new communicator will be freed when
   *   the Boost.MPI communicator (and all copies of it) is
   *   destroyed. This option is only permitted if the underlying MPI
   *   implementation supports MPI 2.0; duplication of
   *   intercommunicators is not available in MPI 1.x.
   *
   *   - If @p kind is @c comm_take_ownership, take ownership of @c
   *   comm. It will be freed automatically when all of the Boost.MPI
   *   communicators go out of scope.
   *
   *   - If @p kind is @c comm_attach, this Boost.MPI communicator
   *   will reference the existing MPI communicator @p comm but will
   *   not free @p comm when the Boost.MPI communicator goes out of
   *   scope. This option should only be used when the communicator is
