[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]

Wait for a message from the given source and with the specified tag to become available, but don't try to receive the message. This routine will wait indefinitely for a message meeting the given criteria to arrive, so it should only be invoked when you know a message is coming. If you just want to check whether a message is available use ImmediateProbe(Int32, Int32).

The process that sent (or that will send) the message. This must be a value in [0, Size-1), or the special value anySource. If it is anySource, then we can match a message sent by any other process in this communicator.
