I'll add a test that just assigns (which is what `ATOMIC_VAR_INIT` expands to for clang), and I'll need to update the code to detect that pattern and avoid warning in that case. I guess I have to look at the `Expr` and figure out if the LHS is a `Decl` or something like that.
Do we really implicitly convert the RHS of that assignment to atomic type?  That seems wrong; `_Atomic` is really a type qualifier, and the RHS should not be converted to `_Atomic(T)` any more than it would be converted to `volatile T` for an assignment into a `volatile` l-value.
