That's a *really* good idea!  In fact, ANSI does not decree that volatile
need effect anything, but it would be nice to see it used in this
manner.  Having easy access to atomic instructions would make thinks like
high-level synchonisation possible, without getting down and dirty and
doing it in assembler (which all too often loses the meaning of the
operation).

If it hasn't been done, then I for one would also vote for this!  (as if
deciding what goes into a product is a democratic process...  boy, are we
dumb or what?)
								Ug!
