I wasn't planning that. With a third-party atomic<> implementation it 
would be impossible to achieve any performance benefits, so the only 
improvement would be a cleaner code. Boost.Atomic currently doesn't 
support atomic functions, so providing just one looks awkward and 
implementing all of them requires more time.
