Start by reviewing the LocalArray and DistArray APIs and how they interact with Fortran-based MPI code. Determine whether users can specify C or Fortran ordering, identify the design and compatibility implications, and define what behavior and tests would demonstrate a complete solution.

enhancement prio-low
