If you have the time, this point somehow interests me a lot.

To start: does it apply to relaxed only?

The main question: Does it apply to release (and acquire/consume)?
(I am ignoring other orderings on purpose, as irrelevant for
release/acquire, or consume, pair)

What I am basically wondering about, is how to release a lock
(or anything else blocking another thread)
in a way that assures it is done 'now' [1]; I care more
about the standard - > how to write code < - than how it is
on architecture X  - > how to implement a compiler <.

[1] I do have a notion of relativity of now. I mean 'without any
costly delay'
