Could someome please provide me with a real-world example that makes good
use of this routine? I'm talking about a specific, concrete application
for which MPI_WAIT (and/or variations) is definitely too restrictive, not
some vague hand-waving argument about how MPI_TEST let's you do "other
useful work" while you're waiting. Because I can't think of a single
example. This is a serious question, I'd really like to hear about such
a code.

Thanks.
