Crate integer_atomics

This crate allows you to compile code that needs the unstable integer atomics types (Atomic{U,I}{8,16,32,64}) with the stable compiler.

If the nightly feature is enabled, it simply re-exports these types from std::sync::atomic.

Otherwise, they are emulated with the existing stable AtomicUsize and compare-exchange loops. Because of that, the Atomic{U,I}64 types are only available on 64-bit platforms. Also, this is obviously much slower than real atomics. This is only a stopgap solution until those are finally stabilized.

This crate has no documentation as these types are documented within the standard library docs.
