+[section:threading Threads]
+
+There are an increasing number of hybrid parrallel applications that mix
+distributed and shared memory parallelism. To know how to support that model,
+one need to know what level of threading support is guaranteed by the MPI 
+implementation. There are 4 ordered level of possible threading support described
+by [classref boost::mpi::threading::level mpi::threading::level].
+At the lowest level, you should not use threads at all, at the highest level, any 
+thread can perform MPI call.

+If you want to use multi-threading in your MPI application, you should indicate 
+in the environment constructor your preffered threading support. Then probe the
