P145 line 39

Nevermind.  It looks the same as MPI_Allgatherv, so I'm not sure what I was thinking.

Will make this change.

Regarding "processor vs rank", I'll get back to it after this ticket is ready for next week.

We resolved this on the call today.

Should all be "sendtypes".

Can you give a page/line of what you're referring to?

> The displs description for MIP_Allgatherw uses some parenthesis not used in other displs descriptions.

Can you give a page/line of what you're referring to?

> There are various lists of collective routines on page 137 (5.2.2) that should now include the w versions we added?

Agreed -- all I see in there is MPI_IALLTOALLW.

> A general MPI problem (not specific to this ticket)... we often describe operations with the term: "specifying the number of elements to send to each processor".  But processor/rank should not be used interchangeably.  

True.  If you have a list of such places, I'd help with a ticket.
