 *  @brief Combine the values stored by each process into a single

 *
 *  @c all_reduce is a collective algorithm that combines the values
 *  stored by each process into a single value available to all
 *  processes. The values are combined in a user-defined way,
 *  specified via a function object. The type @c T of the values may
 *  be any type that is serializable or has an associated MPI data
 *  type. One can think of this operation as a @c all_gather, followed
 *  by an @c std::accumulate() over the gather values and using the
 *  operation @c op.
 *
 *  When the type @c T has an associated MPI data type, this routine
 *  invokes @c MPI_Allreduce to perform the reduction. If possible,
 *  built-in MPI operations will be used; otherwise, @c all_reduce()
 *  will create a custom MPI_Op for the call to MPI_Allreduce.
 *
 *    @param comm The communicator over which the reduction will
 *    occur.
 *    @param value The local value to be combined with the local
 *    values of every other process. For reducing arrays, @c in_values
 *    is a pointer to the local values to be reduced and @c n is the
 *    number of values to reduce. See @c reduce for more information.
 *
 *    If wrapped in a @c inplace_t object, combine the usage of both
 *    input and $c out_value and the local value will be overwritten
 *    (a convenience function @c inplace is provided for the wrapping).
 *
 *    @param out_value Will receive the result of the reduction
 *    operation. If this parameter is omitted, the outgoing value will
 *    instead be returned.
 *
 *    @param op The binary operation that combines two values of type
 *    @c T and returns a third value of type @c T. For types @c T that has
 *    ssociated MPI data types, @c op will either be translated into
 *    an @c MPI_Op (via @c MPI_Op_create) or, if possible, mapped
 *    directly to a built-in MPI operation. See @c is_mpi_op in the @c
 *    operations.hpp header for more details on this mapping. For any
 *    non-built-in operation, commutativity will be determined by the
 *    @c is_commmutative trait (also in @c operations.hpp): users are
 *    encouraged to mark commutative operations as such, because it
 *    gives the implementation additional lattitude to optimize the
 *    reduction operation.
 *
 *    @param n Indicated the size of the buffers of array type.
 *    @returns If no @p out_value parameter is supplied, returns the
 *    result of the reduction operation.
