  <h1>&lt;atomic&gt; design</h1>
  <!--*********************************************************************-->

<p>
This is a variation of design A which puts the burden on the library to arrange
for the correct manipulation of the run time memory ordering arguments, and only
calls the compiler for well-defined memory orderings.  I think of this design as
the worst of A and C, instead of the best of A and C.  But I offer it as an
option in the spirit of completeness.
