"Doesn't support multi-module applications" is not the same as not supporting sharing an atomic between DLLs. Many multi-module applications will never need to do that. I can't think of an example that isn't either contrived or a bad idea.
Yes, I meant atomic<> crossing DLL boundaries, of course. However, I don't find such use cases contrived or bad.
