Isn't this already expressible with something like a yield statement between the two atomics?

If you need it - write it down! I can't guess your intentions as a compiler author!

A yield might be way too slow.

And sure, there should be a way to signal intentions. By my point is that there is a reasonable way to describe what certain people would expect by default.

“volatile std::atomic“ also works and is more clear, IMO.
