Subject: [PATCH 2/2] count: Reword Quick Quiz 5.6 to adjust context
count_nonatomic.c has lost the explicit "++" operator, so this is
my humble attempt to update the question.

Paul,
Does this change look reasonable to you?
I'm quite sure you will come up with something better. ;-)
Thanks, Akira

- But doesn't the \co{++} operator produce an x86 add-to-memory
+ But doesn't a smart compiler prove

instruction?
And won't the CPU cache cause this to be atomic?
