The "problem" is that there is special code that removes the threadcomm
from SELF and WORLD. If we assume that they are different, but in fact,
SELF and WORLD are the same object, it looks like a reference counting
inconsistency. Thus special code to deal with MPIUNI where they are the
same. I don't understand why it's such a problem to make MPIUNI non-special
in having SELF and WORLD be different values.
