How far are we from Visual Studio 2012 being the default/minimum compiler? FWIW, in cases like this, I would rather we just use the C++11 API directly even if it means dropping support for common but out-of-date compilers like gcc 4.4 and VS2010. Also, why can't we just implement the C++11 atomic APIs using VS2010's intrinsics ourselves, if we know we will need to support VS2010 for a long time?
