Comment (by carter):
note: the primary first user for this planned work, ryan newton, is ok
with the atomic operations being the threaded versions even with the
single threaded RTS. (this will simplify initial engineering, though it
does mean there will be a small perf penalty on sequential RTS relative to
theoretical peformance).
