Currently, atomics are an all-or-nothing choice (via __SDTC_NO_ATOMICS__).

I'd like to see a third option: support atomics, except for the creation 
of atomic_flag from allocated storage (or raw character arrays). This 
would make it feasible to implement atomics for some low-end systems, 
that otherwise can't support them efficiently.

Your opinions on the proposal and the proposed wording are welcome:
