Looking at a stream of remarks in a big program one would also want to understand what exactly was expanded and what was left as is. A stream of messages "A hardware instruction was generated" unlikely will help to understand what was done.

It will not be generated here to begin with. If the function returns None the atomicrmw will be just left as is and then later selected into the instruction. But if you read the function, it has many returns for many different reasons, and that is exactly what a useful remark shall report.
