Let's say that I create a new MPI datatype, eric_t, and I explicitly
set the LB to 0 with a TYPE_LB. I then create a second datatype, which
has a single integer at displacement 0 and an eric_t at offset 100.

Question: What is the LB of that second type?

If I'm reading the standard correctly, it is 100, which seems really
silly...
