[mpiwg-rma] Default value of accumulate_ops info key

[Balaji, Pavan]

Hi Joseph,

I don't know about MPI-3.2, but if the Forum accepts the proposal, I believe we have started pushing out draft standards which can be used.  Having said that, I don't know if MPI implementations will implement draft standards or wait till the final standard is out.

The last telecon was canceled.  We have one more this coming Monday.

The standard (v3.1) states "The default is same_op_no_op." My interpretation is that this is the value used if the info key is not specified (based on my understanding of the term `default`). How would I specify my intent to use any accumulate operation? From looking at one implementation, the default is to expect the use of any operation but that seems inconsistent and confusing for users.
