/* [1]  Why do we compare_exchange_strong() with std::memory_order_acquire instead of relaxed?
 *
 * If we succeed, we really only need a relaxed compare_exchange_strong()... we're the ones
 * who are about to do a release store, so there's certainly nothing yet for an acquire to
 * synchronize with.
 *
 * If that compare_exchange_strong() fails, we're either in Calling or Done state.
 * Again, if we're in Calling state, relaxed would have been fine: the spin loop will
 * acquire up to the Calling thread's release store.
 *
 * But if that compare_exchange_strong() fails and we find ourselves in the Done state,
 * we've never done an acquire load to sync up to the store of that Done state.
 *
 * So on failure we need an acquire load.  Generally the failure memory order cannot be
 * stronger than the success memory order, so we need acquire on success too.  The single
 * memory order version of compare_exchange_strong() uses the same acquire order for both.
