// Package atomic provides low-level atomic memory primitives
// useful for implementing synchronization algorithms.
//
// These functions require great care to be used correctly.
// Except for special, low-level applications, synchronization is better
// done with channels or the facilities of the sync package.
// Share memory by communicating;
// don't communicate by sharing memory.
//
// The compare-and-swap operation, implemented by the CompareAndSwapT
// functions, is the atomic equivalent of:
//
// if *val == old {
// *val = new
// return true
// }
// return false
