std::atomic is also slightly different from boost::atomic (or rather,
std::atomic_flag from boost::atomic_flag). Also, boost::atomic is
better optimized than std::atomic on gcc prior to 4.7 and std::atomic
cannot be used with structs with gcc prior to 4.8. Not sure what is
the state of affairs on MSVC and other compilers.
