Subject: [boost] [atomic] Availability detection

Hi,

Will there be a way to detect if specific operations over a specific
type are available atomically on the current platform? That is, if I
know that atomic operations are emulated with locks, I want to fall back
to another branch of my code with explicit locks, rather than the
emulated atomics.
