+  <description>
+    <p>This module provides a set of functions to do atomic operations towards
+    mutable atomic variables. The implementation utilizes only
+    atomic hardware instructions without any software level locking, which makes
+    it very efficient for concurrent access. The atomics are organized into
+    arrays with the follwing semantics:</p>
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item>
+	<p>Atomics are 64 bit integers.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+	<p>Atomics can be represented as either signed or unsigned.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+	<p>Atomics wrap around at overflow and underflow operations.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+	<p>All operations guarantee atomicity. No intermediate results can be
+	seen. The result of one mutation can only be the input to one
+	following mutation.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+	<p>All atomic operations are mutually ordered. If atomic B is updated
+	<em>after</em> atomic A, then that is how it will appear to any
+	concurrent readers. No one can read the new value of B and then read the
+	old value of A.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+	<p>Indexes into atomic arrays are one-based. An atomic array of
+	arity N contains N atomics with index from 1 to N.</p>

+      <item>

+      </item>
+      <item><p>Counters are initialized to zero and can then only be written to

+	<p>Write operations guarantee atomicity. No intermediate results can be

+      </item>
+      <item>
+	<p>Two types of counter arrays can be created with options <c>atomics</c> or

+	performance with nice consistent semantics while
+	<c>write_concurrency</c> counters offers even better concurrent
