- "buffered" corresponds to MPI_Bsend (buffered send),
whereas the old name "blocking" is misleading since the
regular MPI_Send also blocks until completion
(ie, buffer can be reused).
ENH: IPstream::read() returns std::streamsize instead of label (#3152)
- previously returned a 'label' but std::streamsize is consistent with
the input parameter and will help with later adjustments.
- use <label> instead of <int> for internal accounting of the message
size, for consistency with the underyling List<char> buffers used.
- improve handling for corner case of IPstream receive with
non-blocking, although this combination is not used anywhere
