CAS is defined as an accumulate operation (pg 1, ln 38--41), so yes, CAS
should be interpreted as a different operation than MPI_REPLACE or MPI_SUM
or...  I personally think this is obvious, but have no objection to an
additional sentence in the accumulate_ops info key specifying this.  I
believe that's the only place in the current text where operation
conflicts are discussed, but I could be wrong.
