Description
Problem
Prior to #586, requests were introduced in Section 3.7.1 (Communication Request Objects). Now, we use requests already for buffered operations introduced in Section 3.6 where it is entirely unclear what requests are and what to do with them.
Proposal
Requests are used in many parts of the standard (P2P, Collectives, RMA, IO) so they should be introduced as part of the semantic terms, with a forward reference to the completion functions. We already introduce MPI_Count
in Section 2.5.8, so we could have a Section 2.5.9 for requests.
