[Mpi3-rma] current version of proposal

[James Dinan]

Hi Brian,

When we state that accumulates with the same operation are 
non-conflicting, should I be interpreting this as CAS is only 
non-conflicting with other CAS operations?  This is a bit of a stretch 
since CAS doesn't take an op argument, but I suppose it's doable.  Some 
text to help the reader make this connection for CAS would definitely help.

  ~Jim.
