New submission from Ronny Pfannschmidt <Ronny.Pfannschmidt at gmx.de>:

as discussed on irc the error potential of thread.atomic
requires 2 explicitly named primitives instead

* one for composable sections for use in datastructures for example
* one for noncomposable sections that are used
  to control parallelism/conflict potential
  and to generally avoid nesting things
  that shouldn't be nested

the preliminary names we came up with
are thread.composable_atomic and thread.explicit_atomic
