 * @file svn_named_atomics.h
 * @brief Structures and functions for machine-wide named atomics.
 *        These atomics store 64 bit signed integer values and provide
 *        a number of basic operations on them. Instead of an address,
 *        these atomics are identified by strings / names.  We also support
 *        namespaces - mainly to separate debug from production data.
