Description David Simcha 2010-08-29 08:47:38 UTC 
This is technically an enhancement, but it severely limits the usability of core.atomic and seems like a pretty silly omission.  The following code needs to work:

int num = 1;
atomicOp!"="(num, 2);  // Atomically set num to 2.
Comment 1 David Simcha 2011-08-12 20:36:31 UTC 
Resolved by exposing atomic store.
