I wasn't planning that. With a third-party atomic<> implementation it
would be impossible to achieve any performance benefits, so the only
improvement would be a cleaner code. Boost.Atomic currently doesn't
support atomic functions, so providing just one looks awkward and
implementing all of them requires more time.
