+/* CONCURRENCY NOTES:
+
+   The evaluation of the macro expression is_lock_free encompasses one or
+   more loads from memory locations that are concurrently modified by other
+   threads.  For lock elision to work, this evaluation and the rest of the
+   critical section protected by the lock must be atomic because an
+   execution with lock elision must be equivalent to an execution in which
+   the lock would have been actually acquired and released.  Therefore, we
+   evaluate is_lock_free inside of the transaction that represents the
+   critical section for which we want to use lock elision, which ensures
+   the atomicity that we require.  */
