"Operation" is used to describe the op argument for MPI_Accumulate, MPI_Get_accumulate and MPI_Fetch_and_op.
MPI 4.0 introduces an new meaning for "operation", and "operator" should be prefered instead.

Proposal

Replace "operation" and "reduce operation" with "\MPI/ operator" where appropriate

Changes to the Text

Replace "operation" and "reduce operation" with "\MPI/ operator" where appropriate
