Pragmatically, I think this would be a good idea…

…philosophically MPI sucks.

The problem is that C, C++, Fortran, Chapel, X10 all assume MPI is the
cluster transport.

Fortunately in the Groovy, GPars, Java, Scala, Akka world, there are
other options, ones that are much nicer :-)

Sadly, I don't have time to contribute to any constructive work on this
just now. And I ought to be doing a review and update to
std.parallelism…
