// Message Passing Interface 1.1 -- Section 3. MPI Point-to-point

/* There is the potential for optimization here. We could keep around
   a "small message" buffer of size N that we just receive into by
   default. If the message is N - sizeof(int) bytes or smaller, it can
   just be sent with that buffer. If it's larger, we send the first N
   - sizeof(int) bytes in the first packet followed by another
   packet. The size of the second packet will be stored in an integer
   at the end of the first packet.

   We will introduce this optimization later, when we have more
   performance test cases and have met our functionality goals. */
