Well, it depends what type 'i' has: If it does not have type 'int' but
rather something like 'atomic_traits<int>::type' there is an obvious
place where the necessary mutex can be located for implementations not
supporting atomic type: In the object 'i'. Of course, on platforms
supporting atomic operations, 'type' might very well be 'int'...
