Eric - your "documentation" is so much toilet paper. So don't bother
talkign about "documented semantics". Start talking about SANE
INTERFACES.

What I described is very much true of non-atomics. Nobody doubts that.

THE QUESTION IS WHETHER IT MAKES SENSE FOR ATOMICS, DAMMIT!

And quite frankly, the behavior I described does not seem to make any
sense for atomics.

"Sane interfaces" are important. Insane interfaces lead to bugs.
