Huge +1, and for the prototype as well. Atomic.Bool and Atomic.RawPointer would also be truly appreciated. An Atomic<T> a la C++ would be even better but I don't know if we'd want to tie ourselves to that.
I like the LLVM names for MemoryOrder et. al. better than the C std. ones, in general, and have never liked acqrel. Cheers! Awesome!
