Comment (by andysem):

 > real native arm support would be great, but also here i wonder: is it
 really worth to spend time on this? i suppose that most arm toolchains
 provide std::atomic these days...

 Well, I'd like Boost.Atomic to be at least not worse than std::atomic on
 all supported targets. If Boost.Atomic offers additional features, such as
 specialized operations, this may be a good reason to prefer it over
 std::atomic.
