This proposal is responsive to issue 63 of the open issues list.
63. Deprecate the '[*]' layout qualifier. As noted in item 2 above, and in
issue #31, there are portability issues that relate to possibly differing
values of UPC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE that might cause a program using the '[*]' layout
qualifier to compile on one target system/compiler, but fail to compile on
another system which defines a smaller value of UPC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE. Further,
the '[*]' form of a layout qualifier seems to offer limited utility.
