Description

@crtrott @dalg24 @nliber

It's possible, using the current wording in terms of an exposition-only atomic-ref-bound, to find and use the atomic-ref-bound class template. Just because users can't name it, doesn't mean that it isn't visible. This would hinder other implementations (e.g., separate classes for each memory order).

LEWG suggested adding this discussion to the paper, to make the history clear and explain why we didn't expose the name of this exposition-only class template.

Research direction

Start by locating the P2689R2 paper and review its current wording around the exposition-only atomic-ref-bound class template. Add the LEWG discussion explaining why the name should not be exposed and why implementations may use separate classes for each memory order. Done means the paper records this history and rationale clearly.
