I meant a source code example. Something like:

For example, in this code:

 <pre>
   ...
 </pre>

It would be invalid for the optimizer to hoist out the store of ... because ...

Looks great.  Please add a subsection for non atomic accesses.  That gives you a chance to say that it is the default for C/C++ accesses, and briefly mention anything else interesting.

It may be out of scope, but for monotonic and up, it would be useful to give a concrete synchronization idiom that the ordering is useful to represent.

Otherwise, it looks really great Eli, thanks!
