I think the intent of "Any of the predefined operations for MPI_REDUCE,
as well as MPI_NO_OP or MPI_REPLACE, can be specified as op;
user-defined functions cannot be used." is clear. One could even dream
up a use-case for MPI_WCHAR if one wants to emulate an atomic read
(using MPI_NO_OP).

I will not vote against an errata if you want to propose text and
initiate the process.

Best,
  Torsten
