[atomic] Bikeshedding over address-free waiting/notifying operation names

Hi,

As some of you may know, C++20 added new waiting/notifying operations to 
std::atomic: wait, notify_one and notify_all. These operations are not 
address-free, i.e. their implementation is allowed to use process-local 
addresses of the atomics as keys. In particular, it means you can't use 
them for inter-process communication.

In Boost.Atomic I intend to provide address-free variants as well, where 
possible, and I'm thinking about the naming scheme for them. Currently, 
I'm using the "_address_free" suffix, so we have wait_address_free, 
notify_one_address_free and notify_all_address_free. The "address-free" 
term comes from the C++ standard, but the resulting names seem a bit 
long. Maybe there are better suggestions?

Thanks.
