[After finally catching up with this thread.]
I agree with the general conclusions and the fact that clarification would
help here. I think Doug earlier suggested renaming "seq_cst" to something
like "maintain_sequential_consistency". But just adding notes is probably
much less painful at this stage. I would favor putting the notes into
the atomics section, together with the definition of memory_order_seq_cst.
It sounds like we need a library issue?
