For my part I agree that this would be a much better solution. The argument
that it is not always absolutely guaranteed that atomics don't wrap doesn't
really hold for me because it looks like they all do. On top of that, there
is an explicit atomic_dec_if_positive() and atomic_fetch_add_unless(),
which to me strongly suggests that they _are_ supposed to wrap.
Given the cost of adding a comparison to each atomic operation to
prevent it from wrapping, anything else would not really make sense to me.
So ... please consider my patch abandoned. Thanks for looking into this!
